Error code

java.sql.SQLIntegrityConstraintViolationException: Column 'StaffId' cannot be null

Answer 1

Your staff pojo is missing staffId(PK). Also why do you have department id if you already have a Department variable?

Your table might have staff_id, department_id, staff_name etc, so for many to one, you just need to add the foreign key reference and in pojos, you have to specific the joincolumn to be department_id. similar to the Record entity you have.
