Doctrine Table Inheritance - No identifier/primary key specified for Entity - postgresql

Question

In Doctrine 2/Symfony 3 with Postgres as the database I am trying to create a table with following fields:
**actions-reviews**
id
action_id
action_task_id
document_id
review_to
review_date
review_description
review_by
is_effective
The table is either linked to a doc_id which is foreign key for an entity called Document or action_task_id for entity called ActionTask. In order to achieve this I am using inheritance mapping via the use of discriminator. In skipper the entity relationship look like this:
As you can see both the ActionTask and ActionReview are sub-set of Action entity.
My issue is when create the entities and run php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force I get the following error:
[Doctrine\ORM\Mapping\MappingException]
No identifier/primary key specified for Entity "AppBundle\Entity\ActionTask
Review". Every Entity must have an identifier/primary key.
Reading the forums I add #ORM/Id to ActionTaskReview entity and then it updates the DB without any errors. However when I look at the postgres table only the document_id field is there not the action_task_id field. What I am doing wrong as the document_id does not throw the same error when I exclude #ORM/Id?
My Doctrine entities look like:
ActionReview.php
/**
* #ORM\Entity
* #ORM\Table(name="actions_reviews")
* #ORM\InheritanceType("SINGLE_TABLE")
* #ORM\DiscriminatorColumn(name="owner", type="string")
* #ORM\DiscriminatorMap({"document":"AppBundle\Entity\DocumentActionReview","action_task":"AppBundle\Entity\ActionTaskReview"})
* #Discriminator(field = "owner", map = {"document": "AppBundle\Entity\DocumentActionReview", "action_task": "AppBundle\Entity\ActionTaskReview"})

Answer 1

First of all, your ActionTaskReview should extend ActionReview:
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;
use JMS\Serializer\Annotation\Exclude;
/**
* ActionTaskReview
* #ORM\Entity
*/
class ActionTaskReview extends ActionReview
{
...
}
Than I am not sure what you want to achieve, as you are using Single Table Inheritance but are setting the #ORM\Table(name="documents_actions_reviews") annotation on the DocumentActionReview class. Either switch to Class Table Inheritance if you need own tables for your inherited entities or remove the annotation.

Answer 2

Every entity class must have an identifier/primary key. You can select the field that serves as the identifier with the #Id annotation.
`/**
* #ORM\Column(type="integer")
* #ORM\Id
* #GeneratedValue
*/
private $id;`
