Many-to-Many mapping Hibernate getting ConstraintViolationException

Question

This is the concerned Java code

Role.Java

@Entity
@Table(name = "role")
public class Role extends BasicModel {


private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Id
@Column(name = "id")
private int id;

@Column(name = "role_name")
private String roleName;

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "pk.role", cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
private Set<UserRoles> userRoles = new HashSet<UserRoles>();
//Getters and Setters
}

User.Java

@Entity
@Table(name = "user")
public class User extends BasicModel{

@Id
@Column(name = "id")
private int id;

@Column(name = "name")
private String name;

@Column(name = "email")
private String email;

@Column(name = "password")
private String password;

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "pk.user", cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
private Set<UserRoles> userRoles = new HashSet<UserRoles>();
//getters and setters
}

UserRoles.Java

@Entity
@Table(name = "user_roles")
@AssociationOverrides({
@AssociationOverride(name = "pk.user", 
    joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "user_id")),
@AssociationOverride(name = "pk.role", 
    joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "role_id")) })
public class UserRoles extends BasicModel {


private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

@Id
@Column(name = "id")
private int id;

@EmbeddedId
private UserRoleId pk = new UserRoleId();
//Getters and Setters
}

**UserRoleId.java**
public class UserRoleId {

@ManyToOne
private User user;

@ManyToOne
private Role role;
//Getters and Setters
}

This is the code I am using to insert

tx = session.beginTransaction();
User user = new User();

user.setName("admin");
user.setPassword("admin");
user.setEmail("admin@admin.com");

Role role = new Role();

role.setRoleName("admin");

session.save(role);

UserRoles userRole = new UserRoles();
userRole.setUser(user);
userRole.setRole(role);

user.getUserRoles().add(userRole);

session.save(user);

tx.commit();

In Role and User class, if I set the cascadetype as ALL like

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "pk.role", cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
private Set<UserRoles> userRoles = new HashSet<UserRoles>();

I am getting the following error

If I set the CascadeType to other values, user table and role table gets updated and link table user_roles not getting updated.

This is the table structure in mysql

role

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test`.`role`;
CREATE TABLE  `test`.`role` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`role_name` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`created_user` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`created_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`updated_user` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`updated_date` datetime NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
  ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

user

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test`.`user`;
CREATE TABLE  `test`.`user` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`name` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
`email` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,
`password` varchar(64) DEFAULT NULL,
`created_user` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`created_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`updated_user` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`updated_date` datetime NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

user_roles

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `test`.`user_roles`;
CREATE TABLE  `test`.`user_roles` (
`id` int(10) NOT NULL,
`role_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`user_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`created_user` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`created_date` datetime NOT NULL,
`updated_user` varchar(45) NOT NULL,
`updated_date` datetime NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
 KEY `FK_user_roles_user` (`user_id`),
 KEY `FK_user_roles_roles` (`role_id`),
 CONSTRAINT `FK_user_roles_roles` FOREIGN KEY (`role_id`) REFERENCES `role` (`id`),
 CONSTRAINT `FK_user_roles_user` FOREIGN KEY (`user_id`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`)
 ) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Please help.

I went through this link

http://developmentality.wordpress.com/2011/05/23/hibernate-mysql-mac-foreign-key-nightmares-a-painless-solution-to-a-painful-problem/

and executed this command

show engine innodb status

in mysql command line and found, the query generated like this

insert into user_roles (created_date, created_user, updated_date, updated_user, role_id, user_id, id) values ('2014-11-01 11:57:03', 'test', '2014-11-01 11:57:03', 'test', 0, 0, 0);

which is because

the value of user_id and role_id is not getting incremented.

Now I added this line

@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)

to auto generate id in both user and role tables and the issue is now resolved.

Thanks !
