Hibernate-sequence doesn't exist
You can also put :
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
And let the DateBase manage the incrementation of the primary key:
AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY
You need to set for Hibernate5.x <property name="hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings">false</property>
.. see and link.
For older version of hibernate 4.x:
<prop key="hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings">false</prop>
Working with Spring Boot
Solution
Put the string below in .application.properties
spring.jpa.properties.hibernate.id.new_generator_mappings=false
Explanation
On Hibernate 4.X this attribute defaults to true
.
