javax.servlet.ServletException: Filter execution threw an exception in spring boot

Question

When I implement the hashCode() method in Entity classes, I get the following error. What 's that ?

This is also an instance of the Entity class:

@Entity
@Table(name = "TBL_ACTIVITY", uniqueConstraints = { @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "ROLE", name = "ROLE_UN") })
public class Activity implements Serializable, Comparable<Activity> {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 2312346871583335007L;

    private Long activityId;

    private String role;
    private String description;

    private Activity parent;

    private Set<Group> groups = new HashSet<>(0);
    private Set<Activity> children = new HashSet<>(0);

    public Activity() {}

    public Activity(String role, String description) {
        this.role = role;
        this.description = description;
    }

    public Activity(String role, String description, Activity parent) {
        this.role = role;
        this.description = description;

        this.parent = parent;
    }

    public Activity(String role, String description, Activity parent, Set<Group> groups, Set<Activity> children) {

        this.children = children;
    }

    @Id

    public void setGroups(Set<Group> groups) {
        this.groups = groups;
    }

    @Override
    public int compareTo(Activity o) {
        return Integer.compare(Integer.valueOf(String.valueOf(this.activityId)), Integer.valueOf(String.valueOf(o.getActivityId())));
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object o) {
        if (this == o) return true;
        if (o == null || getClass() != o.getClass()) return false;
        Activity activity = (Activity) o;
        return Objects.equals(activityId, activity.activityId) &&
                Objects.equals(role, activity.role) &&
                Objects.equals(description, activity.description) &&
                Objects.equals(parent, activity.parent) &&

    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        return Objects.hash(activityId, role, description, parent, groups, children);
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "Activity { " +
