Using Hibernate + annotations, I'm trying to do the following:

Two entities, Entity1 and Entity2.

  • Entity1 contains a simple generated value primary key.
  • Entity2 primary key is composed by a simple generated value + the id of entity one (with a many to one relationship)

Unfortunately, I can't make it work.

Here is an excerpt of the code:

@Entity
public class Entity1 {

 @Id @GeneratedValue
 private Long id;

 private String name;

    ...
}

@Entity
public class Entity2 {

 @EmbeddedId
 private Entity2PK pk = new Entity2PK();

 private String miscData;

    ...
}

@Embeddable
public class Entity2PK implements Serializable {

 @GeneratedValue
 private Long id;

 @ManyToOne
 private Entity1 entity;
}

void test() {

    Entity1 e1 = new Entity1();
    e1.setName("nameE1");
    Entity2 e2 = new Entity2();

    e2.setEntity1(e1);
    e2.setMiscData("test");

    Transaction transaction = session.getTransaction();
    try {
     transaction.begin();

     session.save(e1);
     session.save(e2);

     transaction.commit();
    } catch (Exception e) {
     transaction.rollback();
    } finally {
     session.close();
    }
}

When I run the test method I get the following errors:

Hibernate: insert into Entity1 (id, name) values (null, ?)
Hibernate: call identity()
Hibernate: insert into Entity2 (miscData, entity_id, id) values (?, ?, ?)

Note that I use HSQLDB.

Any ideas about what is wrong ?
