JPA Failed to Persist Entity in a many to one relationship

Question

I have been stuck for almost 8 hrs on this silly issue

I have the following entities

@Entity
@Table(name = "ussd_profile")
public class UssdProfile implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    private String accountNumber;
    private String bankCode;
    private String mobileNumber;
    //getters and setters

}

and another entity

@Entity
@Table(name = "customer_account")
public class CustomerAccount implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;


    @NotBlank(message = "Account Name is required.")
    private String accountName;

    @NotNull
    @Column(length = 20, nullable = false)
    private String currencyCode;

    private String accountNumber;

    private String phoneNumber;

    private String email;

    private String address;


    private LocalDateTime openingDate;

    private String accountType;

    private boolean validated;

    private boolean multipleDebit;

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, targetEntity = UssdProfile.class)
    @JoinColumn(name = "ussd_profile_id", referencedColumnName = "id")
    private UssdProfile ussdProfile;
}

the CustomerAccount is having a many to one relationship with UssdProfile.

This throws an exception when the JPA transaction manager is trying to commit the transaction

Answer 1

I took your code and try to run in my pc and I can see its creating/updating customer account without any error.

Looks like ussd_profile_id column don't exist in table. Verify if you are connecting to right table.

You can also log query to console and see what it's trying to execute.

You can below to application.properties :

 spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.show_sql=true
 spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.use_sql_comments=true
 spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.format_sql=true
