JPA: BeanCreationException: OneToMany & ManyToOne mapping JPA / Hibernate

I have two tables with foreign key relations. I've tried searching on how to do it and it always leads to OneToMany & ManyToOne mapping. I have these two tables.

user_role

enter image description here

user

enter image description here

I'm trying to display all the users and show their position by getting the value of the position column to the user_role table.

These are my classes

User.java

@Entity
@Table(name="user")
public class User {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private long id;

    ..........

    private UserRole userRole;

    @ManyToOne()
    @JoinColumn(name="role_id")
    public UserRole getUserRole() {
        return userRole;
    }

    public void setUserRole(UserRole userRole) {
        this.userRole = userRole;
    }

    .......
}

UserRole.java

@Entity
@Table(name="user_role")
public class UserRole {

    .......

    private List<User> user;

    @OneToMany(targetEntity=User.class, mappedBy="userRole",cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    public List<User> getUser() {
        return user;
    }

    public void setUser(List<User> user) {
        this.user = user;
    }

    public long getRole_id() {
        return role_id;
    }

    public void setRole_id(long role_id) {
        this.role_id = role_id;
    }

    .........

}

And I keep getting this error.

It's my first time using spring so I'm not that familiar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • Can you move the relationship to a related object like this

    @ManyToOne()
@JoinColumn(name="role_id", referencedColumnName = "role_id", insertable = false, updatable = false)    
private UserRole userRole;

    and same do for userRole

    @OneToMany(targetEntity=User.class, mappedBy="userRole",cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)    
private List<User> user = new ArrayList<>();

    Update

    The jar file seems to be corrupted. Try removing the content from the .m2\repository and mvn clean install

    OR

    Right-click your project, select Maven, Update Project, check on Force Update of Snapshots/Releases.
