Introduction
Managing user accounts is fundamental to building robust web applications.
This guide demonstrates how to implement an Account model in a Spring Boot application.
You will learn to integrate it using JPA annotations, configure databases, and write test cases.
Before proceeding, ensure you have a Spring Boot project set up. Refer to our Spring Boot Setup Guide if needed.
Setting Up the Account Model
Understanding the Entity Structure

package org.studyeasy.SpringStarter.models; import java.util.List; import javax.persistence.Entity; import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue; import javax.persistence.GenerationType; import javax.persistence.Id; import javax.persistence.OneToMany; import lombok.Getter; import lombok.NoArgsConstructor; import lombok.Setter; @Entity @Getter @Setter @NoArgsConstructor public class Account { @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE) private Long id; private String email; private String password; private String firstname; @OneToMany(mappedBy = "account") private List posts; } |
Mapping Relationships with JPA
The @OneToMany annotation establishes a one-to-many relationship between the Account and Post entities.

Seeding Initial Data

Repository Interface

Output of the Project
After successfully integrating the Account model into the Spring Boot application and running the application, the following output can be observed:
Database State
The data seeded during initialization will result in the following database entries:
1 2 3 4 5 |
+----+----------------------+----------------+------------+ | id | email | password | firstname | +----+----------------------+----------------+------------+ | 1 | john.doe@example.com| password123 | John | +----+----------------------+----------------+------------+ |
Console Logs
The application startup logs will confirm the database initialization:
1 2 3 |
2024-12-18 10:00:00 INFO --- Starting SpringStarterApplication on localhost with PID 1234 2024-12-18 10:00:01 INFO --- Successfully seeded data: Account{id=1, email='[email protected]', firstname='John'} 2024-12-18 10:00:02 INFO --- Application Started Successfully |
Test Results
Running the test cases will yield the following results:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
------------------------------------------------------- T E S T S ------------------------------------------------------- Running org.studyeasy.SpringStarter.AccountModelTests Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0 ------------------------------------------------------- BUILD SUCCESSFUL ------------------------------------------------------- |
This confirms that the Account model is integrated correctly, data is seeded properly, and test cases validate the setup.
Conclusion
Implementing an Account model in Spring Boot is straightforward with JPA and Lombok. This guide covered:
