The Things We Do For Code

Encountered errors like this:

Exception Description: Class [class edu.chl.jesjos.jpa.core.Customer] has two @GeneratedValues: for fields [CUSTOMER.ID] and [ID]. Only one is allowed.

This was probably due to the fact the customer class had an embedded Address class that tried to generate an id of its own.

Seems you have to make sure that the Java EE API comes after EclipseLink in your POM, otherwise all sorts of strange shit will go down.

Could look like this:

<dependencies>

        <dependency>

            <groupId>org.eclipse.persistence</groupId>

            <artifactId>eclipselink</artifactId>
