JPA @JoinTable and @JoinColumn with composite PK not working-CodePudding

Hello I'm having trouble understanding the error when I do a JoinTable between 2 entities (one of them with a composite primary key).

My Entities:


    @Data
    @AllArgsConstructor
    @NoArgsConstructor
    @Entity
    @Table(name = "meds")
    public class Meds {
    
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
        private long id;
    
        @Column
        private String name;
    
        @Column
        private BigDecimal price;
    
        @Column
        private String category;
    
        @Column
        private int pillNumber;
    
        @Column
        private Date date;
    
        @JsonIgnore
        @ManyToMany(mappedBy = "assignedMeds")
        private Set<Plans> plans = new HashSet<>();
    
    }


    @Data
    @AllArgsConstructor
    @NoArgsConstructor
    @Entity
    @Table(name = "plans")
    @IdClass(PlansPKId.class)
    public class Plans {
    
        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
        private long planId;
    
        @Id
        @Column
        private Date planDate; // format: yyyy-mm-dd
    
        @Column
        private String planName;
    
        @Column
        private String weekday;
    
        @ManyToMany
        @JoinTable(name = "Plan_Meds", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "planDate", referencedColumnName = "planId"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "id"))
        private Set<Meds> assignedMeds = new HashSet<>();
    
    }

My PlansPKId class:


    @Data
    @AllArgsConstructor
    @NoArgsConstructor
    @EqualsAndHashCode
    public class PlansPKId implements Serializable {
    
        private long planId;
    
        private Date planDate; // format: yyyy-mm-dd
    }

and my error:

I tried @JoinColumn(name = "planDate", referencedColumnName = "planId") and also the other way around with planId first but the same thing happened. What could be wrong? Regards.

CodePudding user response：

Not interest to use a composite ID in Plans class: planId is already unique and generated by database. But that's not the issue you need to map all columns ids planDate and planId.

@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(name = "Plan_Meds", joinColumns = {
        @JoinColumn(name = "planDate", referencedColumnName = "planDate")
        @JoinColumn(name = "planId", referencedColumnName = "planId")
}, inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "id"))
private Set<Meds> assignedMeds = new HashSet<>();
