Not able to insert using entity manager ORA00904

Question

I am very new to the concept of EJB's. I am trying to insert values from the front end into database using Entity classes but every time I do that, i am getting this error:

    public Employee(){

    }

I am using seam 2.2.1, EJB 3 and Oracle 10g.

Please help me resolve this error.

Answer 1

Annotations in both fields and accessor methods should not be mixed. By the JPA specification consequence is undefined:

The behavior of applications that mix the placement of annotations on fields and properties within an entity hierarchy without explicitly specifying the Access annotation is undefined.

In the case of Hibernate @Id annotation is observed in and annotations in methods including following are ignored:

@Column(name="EMPLOYEE_ID", nullable=false, insertable=true, updatable=false)

Solution is to move all annotations to the fields (or all to methods).
