Entity with private key - not-null property references a null or transient value
Can someone help me with this error? I have been searching for solutions to this problem to no avail. I am trying to add to a table which has an embedded private key.
I get the following error:
not-null property references a null or transient value
Here is the persist code:
contactFormsLocale.setContactFormsLocalePK(new ContactFormsLocalePK(contactForm, userSettings.getViewLocale())); entityManager.persist(contactFormsLocale);
Portions of the embeddable ContactFormsLocalePK class:
@Embeddable
public class ContactFormsLocalePK implements Serializable
private ContactForm contactForm;
private Locale locale;
public ContactFormsLocalePK() {}
public ContactFormsLocalePK(ContactForm contactForm, Locale locale)
{
this.contactForm = contactForm;
this.locale = locale;
}
@ManyToOne
@NotNull
@JoinColumn(name="contactFormAutoIdInt", insertable=true, updatable=true)
public ContactForm getContactForm()
{
return contactForm;
}
public void setContactForm(ContactForm contactForm)
{
this.contactForm = contactForm;
}
@ManyToOne
@NotNull
@JoinColumn(name="localeAutoIdInt", insertable=true, updatable=true)
public Locale getLocale()
{
return locale;
}
public void setLocale(Locale locale)
{
this.locale = locale;
}
@Override
public int hashCode()
{
return (int) contactForm.hashCode() + locale.hashCode();
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj)
{
if (obj == this) return true;
if (!(obj instanceof ContactFormsLocalePK)) return false;
if (obj == null) return false;
ContactFormsLocalePK pk = (ContactFormsLocalePK) obj;
return pk.contactForm == contactForm &&
pk.locale == locale;
}

this.contactFormsLocalePK = contactFormsLocalePK;
}

public Long getId()
{
return id;
}
public void setId(Long id)
{
this.id = id;
}
@Column(name="emailStr")
public String getEmailStr()
{
return emailStr;
}
public void setEmailStr(String emailStr)
{
this.emailStr = emailStr;
}
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
