Answer 1

so it's a join column not a column and for that you have to use the proper annotation for joining two entities which is @JoinColumn see this it may be helpful

@joinColumn(name = "MERCHANT_NBR" ,referencedColumnName="merchantNBR")
      private String merchant_nbr;

here i supposed that you've changed the column name in entitie class 2 from

@Column(name="MERCHANT_NBR") to `@Column(name="merchantNBR")`
