Hi I have just started using Spring , with Hibernate4 and maven. Basically my class hierarchy is HUmanMicroTask extends from MicroTask . In future there may be several other classes extending from MicroTask. I was trying to have a one table per concrete class which is the simplest way to get up and running with spring3 and hibernate 4. However when i run my code. I keep getting the following exception
13:11:52,260 ERROR TestContextManager:324 - Caught exception while allowing TestExecutionListener [org.springframework.test.context.support.DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener@6ef137d] to prepare test instance [HumanMicroTaskBaseHibernateTest@52c05d3b]

Although I have seen quite a few forums, I am unabelt o decide on where I am making the mistake. My MicroTask class looks as follows :
@Entity
@Table(name = "MICROTASK")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS)
public class MicroTask {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(generator = "system-uuid")
@GenericGenerator(name = "system-uuid", strategy = "uuid")
@Column(name = "MICROTASKID")
private String microTaskId;
@Column(name = "CREATIONDATE")
private Date creationDate;
@Column(name = "DESCRIPTION")
private String description;
public Date getCreationDate() {
return creationDate;
}
//More Getters and setters
My HumanMicroTask Class looks as follows :
@Entity
@Table(name = "HUMANMICROTASK")
@AttributeOverrides({
@AttributeOverride(name="microTaskId", column=@Column(name="MICROTASKID")),
@AttributeOverride(name="creationDate", column=@Column(name="CREATIONDATE")),
@AttributeOverride(name="description", column=@Column(name="DESCRIPTION"))
})
public class HumanMicroTask extends MicroTask {
@Column(name = "TITLE")
private String title;
@Column(name = "CHANNEL")
private String channel;
@Id
@Column(name = "HMTID")
private String humanMicroTaskid;
public String getId() {
return humanMicroTaskid;
}
//More Getters and setters
And my config.xml looks as follows :
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"

Kindly help me out. I am not sure where I making the mistake.
It is due to Id column in both classes. Remove the Id from HumanMicroTask.
