Spring Data JPA Unable to locate Attribute with the given name

Question

I was trying to use Spring Data JPA on Spring Boot and I kept getting error, I can't figure out what the problem is:

Unable to locate Attribute with the the given name [firstName] on this ManagedType [com.example.h2demo.domain.Subscriber]

FirstName is declared in my entity class. I have used a service class with DAO before with different project and worked perfectly.

My Entity class (getters and setters are also in the class) :

        @Entity
        public class Subscriber {

        @Id @GeneratedValue
        private long id;
        private String FirstName,LastName,Email;

        public Subscriber(long id, String firstName, String lastName, String email) {
            this.id = id;
            this.FirstName = firstName;
            this.LastName = lastName;
            this.Email = email;
          }
        }
...

My Repository Class

@Component
public interface SubscriberRepository extends JpaRepository<Subscriber,Long> {
    Subscriber findByFirstName(String FirstName);
    Subscriber deleteAllByFirstName(String FirstName);
}

My Service Class

@Service
public class SubscriberService {

    @Autowired
    private SubscriberRepository subscriberRepository;

    public Subscriber findByFirstName(String name){
        return  subscriberRepository.findByFirstName(name);

    }

    public Subscriber deleteAllByFirstName(String name){
        return  subscriberRepository.deleteAllByFirstName(name);

    }

    public void addSubscriber(Subscriber student) {
        subscriberRepository.save(student);
    }
}

And My Controller class:

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/subscribers")
public class SubscriberController {

    @Autowired
    private SubscriberService subscriberService;

    @GetMapping(value = "/{name}")
    public Subscriber findByFirstName(@PathVariable("name") String fname){
        return  subscriberService.findByFirstName(fname);
    }

    @PostMapping( value = "/add")
    public String insertStudent(@RequestBody final Subscriber subscriber){
        subscriberService.addSubscriber(subscriber);
        return "Done";
    }

}

Answer 1

Try changing private String FirstName,LastName,Email; to private String firstName,lastName,email;

It should work.

findByFirstName in SubscriberRepository tries to find a field firstName by convention which is not there.
