oracle db id column auto generate JPA JSF

Question

I have a basic problem with my oracle database table whereas I use JPA.

My problem is, I create the table in the database by adding it an ID column. When I turn back to my JPA project, and when I try to create new entry it doesn't create ID for the new one. It always says: An error occurred attempting to roll back the transaction.

I search about the issue. It basically doesn't auto-generate the ID value. Here is my JPA controller class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "PROJECTS", catalog = "", schema = "PROJETAKIP")
@XmlRootElement
@NamedQueries({
    @NamedQuery(name = "Projects.findAll", query = "SELECT p FROM Projects p"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Projects.findById", query = "SELECT p FROM Projects p WHERE p.id = :id"),
    @NamedQuery(name = "Projects.findByProject", query = "SELECT p FROM Projects p WHERE p.project = :project")})
public class Projects implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    // @Max(value=?)  @Min(value=?)//if you know range of your decimal fields consider using these annotations to enforce field validation
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "ID", nullable = false, precision = 0, scale = -127)
    @GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.SEQUENCE)
    private BigDecimal id;
    @Column(name = "PROJECT", length = 255)
    private String project;

    public Projects() {
    }

    public Projects(BigDecimal id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public BigDecimal getId() {
        return id;
    }

    public void setId(BigDecimal id) {
        this.id = id;
    }

    public String getProject() {
        return project;
    }

    public void setProject(String project) {
        this.project = project;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        int hash = 0;
        hash += (id != null ? id.hashCode() : 0);
        return hash;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object object) {
        // TODO: Warning - this method won't work in the case the id fields are not set
        if (!(object instanceof Projects)) {
            return false;
        }
        Projects other = (Projects) object;
        if ((this.id == null && other.id != null) || (this.id != null && !this.id.equals(other.id))) {
            return false;
        }
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "com.ibb.souce.Projects[ id=" + id + " ]";
    }

}

and here is my JSFClass:

            }
            if (object instanceof Projects) {
                Projects o = (Projects) object;
                return getStringKey(o.getId());
            } else {
                throw new IllegalArgumentException("object " + object + " is of type " + object.getClass().getName() + "; expected type: " + Projects.class.getName());
            }
        }
    }
}

When I assign the ID manually it works perfectly. But what I want is, it has to auto-generate the value. How to overcome this?

my trigger: DELIMITER @@ CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER PROJETAKIP.PROJECTS_TRIGGER BEFORE INSERT ON PROJECTS REFERENCING NEW AS NEW FOR EACH ROW BEGIN SELECT PROJECTS_SEQUENCE.nextval INTO :NEW.ID FROM dual;END; @@ DELIMITER ; DELIMITER @@ CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER PROJETAKIP.PROJECTS_TRIGGER BEFORE INSERT ON PROJECTS REFERENCING NEW AS NEW FOR EACH ROW BEGIN SELECT PROJECTS_SEQUENCE.nextval INTO :NEW.ID FROM dual;END; @@ DELIMITER ;

Answer 1

Sequence startegy

This is how you should use the sequence generator:

@GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator="seq")

And on the class: (eg. after the @Entity )

@SequenceGenerator(name="seq", sequenceName="PROJECTS_SEQUENCE", initialValue=1)

This should work for you.

Answer 2

While saving the object i had the same error. My reason was because of adding MIN range of 3 digits to id value. By default auto generated id will start from 1, 2, 3 ... I did:

@Id @GeneratedValue
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Size(min = 1, max = 64, message = "ID must be between 1 and 64 characters")
    private String id;

So - in your case - be careful with your id annotations - try to launch without scale, min and max values - see the result. For example, try:

    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "ID")
    @GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.AUTO)
    private BigDecimal id;
