Auditor attempts to set lastModifiedDate on null object [DATACMNS-1669]

[spring-projects-issues]

Blake opened DATACMNS-1669 and commented

The same example given in https://jira.spring.io/browse/DATACMNS-1461 for @CreatedDate is still an issue for @LastModifiedDate:

Given two classes where ClassB contains @LastModifiedDate property and is referenced by ClassA:

@Document(collection = "ClassA")
public class ClassA
{ 
    @Id 
    private String id; 

    private ClassB other; 
}

public class ClassB
{ 
    @CreatedDate 
    private Instant created; 

    @LastModifiedDate
    private Instant modified; 
}

An attempt to store an instance of ClassA when other is null fails with a MappingException:

org.springframework.data.mapping.MappingException: Cannot lookup property private ClassB ClassA.other on null intermediate! Original path was: other.created on ClassA.

Given @CreatedDate was fixed it, seems @LastModifiedDate should also be fixed since it is common to track both a created and modified date
