This is my model of consent
@Entity
@Table(name = "consents")
public class Consent extends BaseEntity {
/**

@OneToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "provider_id")
private Provider provider;
@OneToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
private User user;
@OneToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "friend_id")
private User friend;
@OneToOne

private Document document;
@Column(name = "status")
private String status;
/**

*/
public void Provider() {
}
public Provider getProvider() {
return this.provider;
}
/**
*
* Setter for property pet.
*
* @param pet New value of property pet.
*
*/
public void setProvider(Provider provider) {
this.provider = provider;
}
public User getUser() {
return user;
}
public void setUser(User user) {
this.user = user;
}
public User getFriend() {

}
public void setDocument(Document document) {
this.document = document;
}
public String getStatus() {
return status;
}
public void setStatus(String status) {
this.status = status;
}
}
This is the consent controller get declaration
@RequestMapping(value = "/users/{userId}/providers/{providerId}/documents/{documentId}/consents/new", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String initNewConsentForm(@PathVariable("userId") int userId,@PathVariable("providerId") int providerId,@PathVariable("documentId") int documentId, Model model) {

Provider provider = this.clinicService.findProviderById(providerId);
Document document = this.clinicService.findDocumentById(documentId);
Collection<User> users = this.clinicService.AllUsers();
Consent consent = new Consent();
//document.addConsent(consent);
//provider.addDocument(document);
//user.addProvider(provider);
model.addAttribute("provider",provider);
model.addAttribute("document", document);
model.addAttribute("user", user);
model.addAttribute("users", users);
model.addAttribute("consent", consent);
return "providers/createOrUpdateConsentForm";
}
this is consent post declaration
@RequestMapping(value = "/users/{userId}/providers/{providerId}/documents/{documentId}/consents/new", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public String processNewConsentForm(@PathVariable("userId") int userId, @PathVariable("providerId") int providerId,
@PathVariable("documentId") int documentId, @ModelAttribute("consent") Consent consent, BindingResult result, SessionStatus status) {
User user = this.clinicService.findUserById(userId);
Provider provider = this.clinicService.findProviderById(providerId);
//System.out.println("daghade");
//System.out.println(provider);
//Document doc = this.clinicService.findDocumentById(userId);
Consent c =new Consent();
c.setProvider(consent.getProvider());
c.setDocument(consent.getDocument());
c.setUser(user);
c.setStatus(consent.getStatus());
c.setFriend(consent.getFriend());
System.out.print("consentcontroller11");
System.out.println(consent.getProvider());
System.out.print("consentcontroller11");
if (result.hasErrors()) {
return "providers/createOrUpdateConsentForm";
} else {
this.clinicService.saveConsent(c);
status.setComplete();
return "redirect:/users/{userId}";
}
}
the consent html thymeleaf form is
<form th:object="${consent}" action="../users/userDetails.html" th:action="@{${#httpServletRequest.servletPath}}" method="post">
<fieldset>
<div class="col-sm-7 col-md-6 col-lg-5">
