How to reproduce this issue
From the rest controller, find an entity object that is not available in the database. Spring database repositories returns with optional class without any value. If you tries to access the object, it throws NoSuchElementException.
Root Cause
Access a element in an optional that has no value in it. Optional class throws no such element exception as no element available.
Solution 1
Add proper exception handling code around optional element in rest controller class
@GetMapping("/books/{id}")
Book findOne(@PathVariable Long id) {
return repository.findById(id).get()
.orElseThrow(() -> new Exception());
}Solution 2
Add try catch block to catch and leave this exception
@GetMapping("/books/{id}")
Book findOne(@PathVariable Long id) {
try {
return repository.findById(id).get();
} catch (Exception e) {
// do nothing or add action code
}
}Solution 3
Check the url, path variables and parameters. validate with the database tables and identify why the data is not available in the database.
