There is no ID defined for this entity hierarchy - jpa

Question

I am stuck with this error message, that appears every time I want to add a ManytoOne relationship with another entity class.
The class must use a consistent access type (either field or property). There is no ID defined for this entity hierarchy
This is my entity Transaction
#Entity
#Table(name = "CustomerTransaction")
public class CustomerTransaction implements Serializable {//this is the line with the error message
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
private Long id;
#ManyToOne //This generates the problem
#JoinColumns({
#JoinColumn(name = "CUS_ID", referencedColumnName = "IDCUSTOMER") })
public Long getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}
private long transactionID;
#Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date buyDate;
public Date getBuyDate() {
return buyDate;
}
public void setBuyDate(Date buyDate) {
this.buyDate = buyDate;
}
public long getTransactionID() {
return transactionID;
}
public void setTransactionID(long transactionID) {
this.transactionID = transactionID;
}
public String getCarYear() {
return carYear;
}
public void setCarYear(String carYear) {
this.carYear = carYear;
}
public Date getTransactionDate() {
return transactionDate;
}
public void setTransactionDate(Date transactionDate) {
this.transactionDate = transactionDate;
}
private String carYear;
#Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date transactionDate;

Answer 1

JPA annotation should all be placed either on fields or on accessor methods. You've placed the #Id and #GeneratedValue annotation on a field (private Long id), but #ManyToOne and #JoinColumns on a getter (public Long getId()). Move the latter on a field as well.

Answer 2

i had similar error but in the end, i realized #Id was referencing this package org.springframework.data.annotation.Id instead of javax.persistence.Id. i was using #MappedSuperClass approach so as soon as i corrected this, everything worked fine

Answer 3

You need to import #Id from "import javax.persistence.Id;"
