Spring Boot - "Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory'" - Start

Question

I have seen a lot of questions but the answers are not satisfying my problem... I start with Spring Boot and I am completely lost.

The error is :

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaAutoConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.AnnotationException: No identifier specified for entity: pack.datas.entities.Degree

/// others lines

Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: No identifier specified for entity: pack.datas.entities.Degree

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(CandidatesRecruitmentApplication.class, args);
    }

Please, I need your help !

Answer 1

Seems like you used @Id annotation from the wrong package in your Degree class. Change your import from org.springframework.data.annotation.Id to javax.persistence.Id. That should help with the exception you're getting.
