nitriteMapper is null?

[yonimoses]

Hi,

Trying to work with nitrite 3.X, so far so good.
I'm mainly using the ObjectRepository, but I wanted to try querying nested docs using the getCollection and got the

NitriteMapper.isValueType(Object)" because "nitriteMapper" is null in
ValidationUtils.validateSearchTerm

My actual code that causes that is :
nitrite.getCollection(Advisory.class.getName()).find(eq("advisory_details.summary", "Text To Match"))

any suggestions?

You need to use ObjectRepository api instead of collection.

Try to use:

ObjectRepository<Advisory> repository = nitrite.getRepository(Advisory.class);
Cursor<Advisory> cursor = repository.find(eq("advisory_details.summary", "Text To Match"));

NitriteMapper is used in ObjectRepository to map object to document and vice versa. In NitriteCollection, for obvious reason NitriteMapper is not set as it does not deal with objects directly. So mix and match of api is not advisable. If you are dealing with objects, you need to use ObjectRepository api, if you are dealing with only documents, use collection api.
