I would like to build a form to save an User. I have 2 tables, User and UserRole as described in Spring Security. To save an user I need to create a User Object that contains a field Set. I want to create a list of checkboxes and map them into an Set of UserRoles, but I don't know how to map them with checkboxes. I have the following classes:
@Controller
public class UserController {
@Autowired
IUserService userService;
/** Default GET form handler for users, in submission will call saveRegistration */
@RequestMapping(value="/createuser", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String createUser(Model model) {
// User form will be bind to this User object
model.addAttribute("user", new User());
// Code about adding the user roles to JSP?
// Maybe something like this?:
// User u = new User ("useruser","123456",false);
// Set<UserRole> roles = new HashSet<UserRole>();
// roles.add(new UserRole(u,"ROLE_ADMIN"));
// roles.add(new UserRole(u,"ROLE_USER"));
// model.addAttribute("roles", roles);
return "createuser";
}
/** This method will be called on form submission, handling POST request,
* It also validates the user input */
@RequestMapping(value="/createuser", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String doCreateUser(Model model, @Valid User user, BindingResult result) {
if(result.hasErrors()) {
return "createuser";
}
userService.createUser(user,user.getUserRole()) //createUser(User user, Set<UserRole> role)
return "success";
}
}
My JSP:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="sf" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form"%>

</div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label"></td>
<td><input class="control" value="Create account" type="submit" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</sf:form>
User Role:
public class UserRole {
private Integer userRoleId;
private User user;
private String role;
public UserRole () {
}
public UserRole(User user, String role) {
this.user = user;
this.role = role;
}
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "user_role_id",
unique = true, nullable = false)
public Integer getUserRoleId() {
return userRoleId;
}
public void setUserRoleId(Integer userRoleId) {
this.userRoleId = userRoleId;
}
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "username", nullable = false)
public User getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
}
@Column(name = "role", nullable = false, length = 45)
public String getRole() {
return role;
}
public void setRole(String role) {
this.role = role;
}
public String toString () {
return role;
}
}
And User:
public class User {
@NotNull
@NotBlank(message="Username cannot be blank.")
@Size(min=4, max=15, message="Username must be between 4 and 15 characters long.")
@Pattern(regexp="^\\w{6,}$", message="Username can only consist of numbers, letters and the underscore character.")
private String username;
@NotBlank(message="Password cannot be blank.")
@Pattern(regexp="^\\S+$", message="Password cannot contain spaces.")
@Size(min=6, message="Username must be longer than 6 characters.")
private String password;
//private String confirmPassword;
private boolean enabled;
private Set<UserRole> userRole = new HashSet<UserRole>(0);
public User() {
}
public User(String username, String password, boolean enabled) {
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
this.enabled = enabled;
}
public User(String username, String password,
boolean enabled, Set<UserRole> userRole) {
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
this.enabled = enabled;
this.userRole = userRole;
}
@Id
@Column(name = "username", unique = true, nullable = false, length = 45)
public String getUsername() {
return username;
}
public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}
@Column(name = "password", nullable = false, length = 60)
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
@Column(name = "enabled", nullable = false)
public boolean isEnabled() {
return enabled;
}
public void setEnabled(boolean enabled) {
this.enabled = enabled;
}
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "user")
public Set<UserRole> getUserRole() {
return userRole;
}
public void setUserRole(Set<UserRole> userRole) {
this.userRole = userRole;
}
/*public String getConfirmPassword() {
return confirmPassword;
}
public void setConfirmPassword(String confirmPassword) {
this.confirmPassword = confirmPassword;
}*/
}
Thanks in advance.
