How to connect postgresql in hibernate.cfg.xml

Question

I am trying to insert some data into postgresql through hibernate. However, there are not much tutorial about configurate hibernate with postgresql (I know, it should be similar to mysql =))

src/main/resources/hibernate.cfg.xml

<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
<property name="connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/myDatabase</property>
<property name="connection.username">myUser</property>
<property name="connection.password">myPassword</property>

<!-- JDBC connection pool (use the build-in) -->
<property name="connection.pool_size">1</property>
<!-- SQL dialect -->
<property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
<property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.HashtableCacheProvider</property>
<property name="transaction.factory_class">org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransactionFactory</property>

<!-- thread is the short name for org.hibernate.context.ThreadLocalSessionContext -->
<property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property>

<!-- Set "true" to show SQL statements -->
<property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>

<!-- mapping class using annotation -->
<mapping class="com.hib.entities.Student"></mapping>
</session-factory>

</hibernate-configuration>

src/main/java/

package com.hib.init;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistry;
import org.hibernate.service.ServiceRegistryBuilder;

public class Hibernateutil {
private static final SessionFactory sessionF;
private static final ServiceRegistry serviceR;

static {
    Configuration conf = new Configuration();
    conf.configure();
    System.out.println("Begin");
    serviceR = new ServiceRegistryBuilder().applySettings(conf.getProperties()).buildServiceRegistry();
    System.out.println("Ready???");
    try {
        sessionF = conf.buildSessionFactory(serviceR);
        System.out.println("Success??");
    }catch(Exception e) {
        throw new ExceptionInInitializerError(e);
    }
}

public static SessionFactory getSeeionFactory() {
    return sessionF;
}
}

src/main/java package com.hib.entities;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table
public class Student {

@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Integer id;
private String firstName;

private Integer age;

public Student() {}

public Student(Integer id, String firstName, Integer age) {
    super();
    this.id = id;
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.age = age;
}

public Integer getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(Integer id) {
    this.id = id;
}

public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
}

public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
}

public Integer getAge() {
    return age;
}

public void setAge(Integer age) {
    this.age = age;
}   
}

src/main/java

package com.hib.demo;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import com.hib.entities.Student;
import com.hib.init.Hibernateutil;

public class DemoFirst {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    SessionFactory sessionFactory = Hibernateutil.getSeeionFactory();
    Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
    session.beginTransaction();

    Student student = new Student();
    student.setFirstName("Bob");
    student.setAge(26);

    session.save(student);
    session.getTransaction().commit();

    session.close();
}
}

And this is the error I got :

According to this thread you must set your Id annotation as follows:

@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
