Shared Primary Key between two Entities Not Working - spring

Question

I have created two Entities namely Teacher and Detail, the code snippet is shown below
Teacher.java
#Entity
#Table(name = "teacher")
public class Teacher implements Serializable {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
#Column(name = "id")
private long id;
#Column(name = "name")
private String name;
#Column(name = "age")
private int age;
#OneToOne(mappedBy = "teacher", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
private Detail detail;
public Teacher() {
}
public Teacher(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
//getter and setter
}
Detail.java
#Entity
#Table(name = "detail")
public class Detail implements Serializable {
#Id
#OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinColumn(name = "id")
private Teacher teacher;
#Column(name = "subjects")
private String subjects;
public Detail() {
}
public Detail(String subjects) {
this.subjects = subjects;
}
//getter and setter
}
I am trying to achieve one to one mapping with the shared primary key concept
but when i execute the controller, only Teacher table is updating with the value
try {
Teacher teacher=new Teacher("xyz",23);
Detail detail=new Detail("Java,c,c++");
teacher.setDetail(detail);
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(teacher);
session.getTransaction().commit();
model.addAttribute("added", "data inserted");
session.close();
}
After executing only Teacher table is updated with the specified values.Detail table is still showing empty

Answer 1

It does not work exactly like that. You still need the id field in your Detail, so add:
#Id
private long id;
to your Deatail class.
And - as comment suggests - replace the #Id annotation in field Teacher to #MapsId. This way the id of Teacher is mapped to the id of Detail BUT ONLY if you also set the teacher to the detail - you always need to set both sides of relationship - like:
teacher.setDetail(detail);
detail.setTeacher(teacher);
