I am very new to java EE and self-learning it, so please be patient with me. So far I have 3 simple tables in my database:
Sales | Products |
---|---|
Sale_id | Product_id |
Sale_details |
---|
Saleid_fk |
Productid_fk (fk) |
Quantity_sold |
How do I persist a new sale_details without creating a sale_details entity. Because Java wont let me name sale_details as @Entity without a primary key. this current code gives me an error stating i need to declare a primary key. I tried using Idclass based on the answers on stackoverflow but it doesn't do anything.
@Entity
@Table(name="sale_details")
@IdClass(value = SaleDetails.class)
public class SaleDetails implements Serializable {
@Column(name = "saleid_fk")
private int saleid_fk;
@Column(name = "productid_fk")
private String productid_fk;
@Column(name = "quantity_sold")
private int quantity_sold;
You can just set a primary id as autoincrement and not use it.
