GenericGenerator with package-info.java

Question

I have an entity named as Tasit as shown below.

package tr.com.entity;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;
import tr.com.MyGenerator;
    
@Entity
public class Tasit {
    
  @Id
  @GeneratedValue(generator = "ID_GENERATOR")
  private Long id;
    
  @Column(name = "TASIT_ADI")
  private String tasitAdi;
    
  public String getTasitAdi() {
     return tasitAdi;
  }
    
  public void setTasitAdi(String tasitAdi) {
    this.tasitAdi = tasitAdi;
  }
    
  public Tasit(Long tasitId, String tasitAdi) {
    super();
    this.id = tasitId;
    this.tasitAdi = tasitAdi;
  }
    
  public Tasit(String tasitAdi) {
    super();
    this.tasitAdi = tasitAdi;
  }
    
  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }
    
  public Tasit() {
    super();
  }
}

As you see in Tasit entity there is @GeneratedValue(generator = "ID_GENERATOR") .

l add in tr.com.entity package package-info.java class. My goal was to write one Generator and to use for all entities in tr.com.entity package

My package-info.java class is also below

@org.hibernate.annotations.GenericGenerator(
   name = "ID_GENERATOR",
   strategy =  "enhanced-sequence",
   parameters = {
      @org.hibernate.annotations.Parameter(
           name = "sequence_name",
           value = "JPWH_SEQUENCE"
      ),
      @org.hibernate.annotations.Parameter(
           name = "initial_value",
           value = "1000"
      )
    }
)
package tr.com.entity;

by doing this I try to insert any data in TASIT table. But when I run the appropriate runner code to insert data to the TASIT table getting below exception.

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

Any help will be appreciated.

Hibernate config is below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC

You need to check your persistence.xml and make sure that you set

<exclude-unlisted-classes>false</exclude-unlisted-classes>

This will enable JPA to scan your package-info.java
