Creating Movie classes

The movie data model shows entities for movies, people, and the relationships between them. You will start your application domain with the Movie entity.

Movie domain class

A Java domain class will represent the Movie entity. While you wouldn’t need to map all of the fields on the Movie node, you will go ahead and map all of them for this example.

Open the Movie.java class in the src/main/java/com/example/appspringdata directory.

}

Review the code and note the following:

The Movie class definition:
java
```
@Node
public class Movie {
```
The @Node annotation above the class definition marks the class as a node entity.

That Movie node properties are mapped to Movie class attributes with a relevant data type:

text

Movie node properties and data types

{
  budget:"INTEGER",
  movieId:"STRING",
  tmdbId:"STRING",
  imdbVotes:"INTEGER",
  runtime:"INTEGER",
  countries:"LIST OF STRING",
  imdbId:"STRING",
  url:"STRING",
  plot:"STRING",
  released:"STRING",
  languages:"LIST OF STRING",
  imdbRating:"FLOAT",
  title:"STRING",
  poster:"STRING",
  year:"INTEGER",
  revenue:"INTEGER"
}

java

Movie class attributes

    @Id
    private String movieId;

    private String title;
    private String plot;
    private String poster;
    private String url;
    private String imdbId;
    private String tmdbId;
    private String released;

    private Long year;
    private Long runtime;
    private Long budget;
    private Long revenue;
    private Long imdbVotes;

    private Double imdbRating;

    private String[] languages;
    private String[] countries;

The @Id annotation on the movieId field marks it as the node identifier.

The class constructor:

java

    public Movie(String movieId, String title, String plot, String poster, String url, String imdbId, String tmdbId,
            String released, Long year, Long runtime, Long budget, Long revenue, Long imdbVotes, Double imdbRating,
            String[] languages, String[] countries) {
        this.movieId = movieId;
        this.title = title;
        this.plot = plot;
        this.poster = poster;
        this.url = url;
        this.imdbId = imdbId;
        this.tmdbId = tmdbId;
        this.released = released;
        this.year = year;
        this.runtime = runtime;
        this.budget = budget;
        this.revenue = revenue;
        this.imdbVotes = imdbVotes;
        this.imdbRating = imdbRating;
        this.languages = languages;
        this.countries = countries;
    }

Getter and setters for each property:

    public String getMovieId() {
        return movieId;
    }

    public void setMovieId(String movieId) {
        this.movieId = movieId;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
        return title;
    }

    public void setTitle(String title) {
        this.title = title;
    }
    ...
