Play Framework: No @javax.persistence.Id field found in class

Question

I have this Play Model class that I'm trying to modify an object of, and when I want to save it, I get the following exception:

java.lang.RuntimeException: No @javax.persistence.Id field found in class [class models.Contact]
at play.db.ebean.Model._idAccessors(Model.java:39)
at play.db.ebean.Model._getId(Model.java:52)

The class:

@Entity
public class Contact extends Model implements Person {//, Comparable<Contact>{

private Long id;

private Client client;

@Required
private String email;

private String profil_picture;

private Boolean active = new Boolean(true);

private Boolean favorite = new Boolean(false);

@Transient
private Boolean profile_pic_url_init = new Boolean(false);
@Id 
@GeneratedValue
public Long getId() {
    return id;
}
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name="client_id") 
public Client getClient(){
    return client;
}
public void setClient(Client client){
    this.client= client;
}
@Column
public Boolean getFavorite() {
    return favorite;
}
public void setFavorite(Boolean is_favorite) {
    this.favorite = is_favorite;
}
....
}

The code calling the save() method:

        List<Contact> contacts_list = current_client.getContacts();
        for (Contact c : contacts_list) {
            c.setFavorite(false);
            c.save();
        }

The class actually has an @Id annotation, so any guesses of why this doesn't work? I tried looking it up on google, but couldn't find much about this error. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Move @Id annotation to id field instead of its getter.
