@Column(s) not allowed on a @ManyToOne property

Question

I have a JPA entity with a property set as

@ManyToOne
@Column(name=\"LicenseeFK\")
private Licensee licensee;

But when I deploy on JBoss 6

Answer 1

In my case @VaishaliKulkarni's answer was helpful to identify the problem.

I missed to write field for @Column annotion and it effected on next field.

@Column(name = "account_id")
// I forgot to write field here

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "customer_id")
private Customer customer;

So, I was getting exception at "customer" field.
