Duration: ~2 hours
Branch: rename-to-glorylabs
Status: ✅ SUCCESS - PDF Generation Fully Functional
Problem: PDF generation was returning HTTP 404 "CV Profile not found"
Root Cause Identified:
// CVProfile.java line 86
@Column(name = "user_id", insertable = false, updatable = false)
private Long userId; // Read-only field - cannot be set!
The Fix Applied:
// CVProfileService.java lines 67-71
User user = userRepository.findById(userId)
.orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("User not found"));
profile.setUser(user); // Set the actual @ManyToOne relationship
Result: PDF generation now works end-to-end!
1. User Registration → ✅ Success (HTTP 200)
2. CV Profile Creation → ✅ Success (Profile ID: 1)
3. PDF Generation → ✅ Success (HTTP 200, 1.9KB PDF file)
Test Script: /tmp/final_pdf_test.sh
PDF Verification:
file /tmp/generated_cv.pdf
→ PDF document, version 1.7, 1 pages (zip deflate encoded)
1. Frontend loads → ✅ http://localhost:4201
2. Navigate to CV Builder → ✅ /cv-builder/personal
3. Fill Personal Info → ✅ All fields (firstName, lastName, email, phone, title, city, region, country)
4. Navigate to Summary → ✅ /cv-builder/summary
5. Fill Professional Summary → ✅ Textarea filled
6. Form validation working → ✅ All required fields validated
Browser: Chrome with Kapture MCP Frontend: Angular application running on port 4201 Backend: Spring Boot running on port 8090
File: backend/src/main/java/nl/glorylabs/cv/service/CVProfileService.java
Before (line 64):
profile.setUserId(userId); // NO EFFECT - field is non-insertable!
After (lines 67-71):
User user = userRepository.findById(userId)
.orElseThrow(() -> new ResourceNotFoundException("User not found"));
profile.setUser(user); // Sets the actual ManyToOne relationship
Impact: user_id column now properly populated in database
Files:
CVProfileService.java (2 method calls)CVProfileServiceTest.java (9+ test mocks)Issue: Method signature changed to require both profileId and userId
Fix: Updated all calls:
cvProfileRepository.findByIdWithAllRelations(profileId, userId)
File: backend/src/main/resources/application.yml
Removed:
servlet:
context-path: /api # REMOVED - controllers already have @RequestMapping("/api/...")
Result: Clean API paths without duplication

JPA Entity Design Pattern:
public class CVProfile {
// Actual database relationship (controls user_id column)
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "user_id", nullable = false)
private User user;
// Read-only convenience field (for queries only)
@Column(name = "user_id", insertable = false, updatable = false)
private Long userId;
}
Why It Failed:
createProfile() called profile.setUserId(userId)insertable = false → no effect on databasefindByIdWithAllRelations(id, userId) query failed: WHERE p.id = 1 AND p.userId = NULLThe Correct Approach:
User user = userRepository.findById(userId).orElseThrow(...);
profile.setUser(user); // JPA sets user_id from user.getId()
/tmp/final_pdf_test.sh
Expected Output:
✅ User registered
✅ CV Profile created with ID: 1
HTTP Status: 200
