Spring Hibernate - Saving multiple entities associated with each other

Question

I'm trying save 3 entities, address, name and employee, with employee containing an address and a name. I already made the DAO's for each entity, but for some reason, this exception keeps popping up even when the address and the name have already been saved and flushed.

Anybody got any ideas on this?

Answer 1

As per the your exception, one of the reason was 'addressID' is mandatory in database and while inserting that value is missing.i can assume ''addressID' is primary key and that value is not generating while save.

java.sql.SQLException: Field 'addressID' doesn't have a default value

Answer 2

In your database is the address id column marked as auto incrementing? That's assuming that you want the database to generate ids for you.
