Issue
I have one entity which contains primary key of type string. This entity model is as follows:
@Entity
public class MyEntity {
@Id
@Column(name="PR_KEY", unique=true)
private String prKey;
....
....
}
But I am facing issue saying TypeMismatch.
org.hibernate.TypeMismatchException: Provided id of the wrong type. Expected: class java.lang.String, got class java.lang.Long
Solution
If you don't specify an id generation strategy, Hibernate will use GenerationType.AUTO. This will result in any of
AUTO - either identity column, sequence or table depending on the underlying DB.
If you look here, you'll notice all of those generate ids of type long, short or int, not of type String.
Say you wanted a String UUID as an id, you could use
@Id
@GeneratedValue(generator = "uuid")
@GenericGenerator(name = "uuid", strategy = "uuid2")
@Column(name = "PR_KEY")
private String prKey;
