org.hibernate.exception.ConstraintViolationException: could not update - Auto-increment column in DB is NULL

Question

I am upgrading my System's hibernate3 package from version "3.1.1" to "3.6.10".

As I already migrated it to the 3.6.10 version, I am seeing an exception:

It seems like the column (COL=1) in the CUSTOMERS table (TABLEID=9), when I update is NULL. the value is auto-generated by the Database (DB2) and should be set in the Customer Object.

Column DB Properties:

Customer's HBM.xml (Highlighted is the column experiencing Null values (should not be Null):

Hope someone could help to resolve my concern.

Answer 1

I found the solution to my concern.

I added the insert="false" and update="false" in the Customer's HBM.xml.

In the hibernate 3.1.1 version, the two parameters, even if it's not present, the SQL generated is it is not including the tknSysGenId but in 3.6.10 version, it is being included and since the value of it is null, it throws an error upon updating the table in the Database.So we need to explicitly state that the column tknSysGenId should not be included in the Update statement as one of the Parameters.

So the new value of it is:
