Hi there
Im having problems mapping a table to my MySql DB. Im learning to use JPA , so im doing the "HelloWorld" exercises on the chapter 2 of the Book "Java Persistence with Hibernate". My field "id" from the Message.java file, is intent to be auto-increment, so i used the follow annotation: @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY) that produces this sql line by the hbm2dll tool: MESSAGE_ID bigint generated by default as identity (start with 1). I guess MySql dont support the "generated by default as identity" definition. If i am rigth, (that im not sure) how can i define a auto-increment to Mysql DB? If not, what am i doing wrong?
Thanx for the help again:
Hibernate version:
Hibernate Core 3.2.2 GA
Hibernate EntityManager 3.2.1 GA
Hibernate Tools 3.2 beta 9
Mapping documents:
Message.java
package immoserver.persistence ;
import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.persistence.CascadeType;
import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.JoinColumn;
import javax.persistence.ManyToOne;
@Entity
@Table(name="MESSAGES")
public class Message implements java.io.Serializable {
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" PrimaryKey: Long id ">
@Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name="MESSAGE_ID", nullable = false)
private Long id;
public Long getId() {
return id;
public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
//</editor-fold>
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" Property: String text ">
@Column(name="TEXT")
private String text;
public String getText() {
return text;
public void setText(String text) {
this.text = text;
// </editor-fold>
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" N-1 Relation to Message nextMessage ">
@ManyToOne( cascade = CascadeType.ALL )
@JoinColumn(name="NEXT_MESSAGE_ID")
private Message nextMessage;
public Message getMessage() {
return this.nextMessage;
public void setMessage(Message message) {
this.nextMessage = message;
// </editor-fold>
