Question

Answer 1

add following property in your hibernate.cfg.xml file

update

BTW, in your Entity class, you must define your @Id filed like this:

@Id
@GeneratedValue(generator = "increment")
@GenericGenerator(name = "increment", strategy = "increment")
@Column(name = "id")
private long id;

if you use the following definition, it maybe not work:

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