Doctrine 2 “Class does not exist” on persist

So I have these two classes with OneToMany and ManyToOne relationships between them:

namespace RM\Entity;

use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;

/**
 * @Table(name="users")
 * @Entity
 * @author Csabi
 */
class User {

    /**
     * @Id
     * @Column(name="id", type="integer", nullable=false)
     * @GeneratedValue(strategy="IDENTITY")
     * @OneToMany(targetEntity="JobListing", mappedBy="ownerId", orphanRemoval=true)
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @var string $displayname
     * @Column(type="string", nullable=false)
     */
    private $displayname;
}

and

namespace RM\Entity;

use Doctrine\Common\Collections\ArrayCollection;

/**
 * @Table(name="job_listings")
 * @Entity(repositoryClass="RM\Entity\Repository\JobListingRepository")
 * @author Csabi
 */
class JobListing {

    /**
     * @var integer $id 
     * @Column(name="id", type="integer", nullable=false)
     * @Id
     * @GeneratedValue(strategy="IDENTITY")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @var User
     * @ManyToOne(targetEntity="User",cascade={"persist"})
     * @JoinColumns({
     *  @JoinColumn(name="ownerId", referencedColumnName="id", nullable=false)
     * })
     */
    private $ownerId;

However, when saving a JobListing, on persist it throws the following error:

Application error
Exception information:

#11 application\controllers\JobListingController.php(28): RM\Entity\JobListingService->saveJobListing(Object(RM\Entity\JobListing))
#12 library\Zend\Controller\Action.php(516): JobListingController->addAction()

What am I missing here?

The problem was actually in the object I was trying to save. I did not pass the whole User Entity to the ownerId, only the id of the user.

So when the method

Doctrine\ORM\UnitOfWork->doPersist(1, Array)

was called it was actually trying to save a number instead of the User Entity.

That is why the error "Class not found" was thrown, because there was no class "1".

You can't define relations on primary keys. Try to add another field in User class:

/**
 * @Table(name="users")
 * @Entity
 * @author Csabi
 */
class User {

    /**
     * @Id
     * @Column(name="id", type="integer", nullable=false)
     * @GeneratedValue(strategy="IDENTITY")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @OneToMany(targetEntity="JobListing", mappedBy="ownerId", orphanRemoval=true)
     */
    private $jobListings;

    /**
     * @var string $displayname
     * @Column(type="string", nullable=false)
     */
    private $displayname;
}
