I have a entity class like this:

@Getter

@Setter

@Entity

@AllArgsConstructor

public class Employee{

     @Id

     private Long id;

     private String name;

}

and repository:

public interface EmployeeRepository extends CrudRepository<Employee, Long>{}

Now, in my service class I have:

EmployeeRepository employeeRepository;



public void addEmployee(EmployeeForm employeeForm){

//EmployeeForm is simple inteface

    Employee employee = new Employee(employeeForm.getId(), employeeForm.getName());

    employeeRepository.save(employee);

}

This will assign some id to the employee, ignoring id I got from EmployeeForm.

Because I need to import list of employees from some other place, and there is already id assigned to each employee, how can I make EmployeeRepository to register each employee with id I gave it?

I think that you are missing: @Entity on your Employee Entity, the other should be done by it self.
You can check extra for a difference between long and Long, but this should not cause a problem as it is.

Hope this helps..

I was missing @NoArgsConstructor, and in Postman I was supposed to fully match "id" as it was in EmployeeForm. employeeRepository.save(employee) works fine with user set ID, it doesn't override it.
