org.hibernate.dialect.OracleDialect does not support identity key generation

Question

I was trying to import a sample project in to eclipse and was facing the below given error up on running the application.

Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingExc         


        

Answer 1

The reason for exception is:

Hibernate expects from underlying database to provide an auto increment feature for a given property, in your case it's id. IOW, Oracle(your case) should support auto increment feature for a field. Oracle started to provide auto increment feature with 12c version and, as your version was less, you got that exception .
