        em.persist(author);
        entr.commit();`

Answer 1

If you want a single-directional relation, you don't need to write @OneToOne in both class. From the given piece of code, it appears that you want the bi-direction relationship between Author detail and Author.

For the other side to be aware of the relation (bidirectional), it is required to add the mappedBy attribute to the @OneToOne annotation. This attribute references the (Java) property in the entity that is the owner of the relationship. In your case, in AuthorDetail class you need to add;

@OneToOne(optional = false,mappedBy = "authorId") private Author authorId;

In mappedBy property, you need to give reference to the entity not class name.

Answer 2

In your Author change the following:

@OneToOne
private AuthorDetail authorId;

To:

@OneToOne
private AuthorDetail authorDetail;
