[eclipselink-users] Persisting a Unidirectional OneToMany fails

[Alon Gamliel <gamliela@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to persist a very simple Unidirectional One to Many relationship, but EclipseLink (2.3.1) fails. Is this a bug or just a stupid mistake? my code is very simple. I also posted a bug on this issue, but it was rejected and I didn't understand the reason (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=391279).

Service Class (Parent):
-------------------------

@Entity
@Table(name = "tbl_service2")
public class Service implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name="service_id")
    public long serviceID;

    @Column(name="name")
    public String name;

    @OneToMany(cascade={CascadeType.ALL})
    @JoinColumn(name="service_id", referencedColumnName="service_id")
    public Set<Parameter> parameters;
}

Parameter Class (Child):
-------------------------
(Of course there is "service_id" foreign key field in the database, which is not represented in the class, as it's unidirectional relation).

@Entity
@Table(name = "tbl_service_parameters2")
public class Parameter implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    @Column(name="param_id")
    public long parameterID;

    @Column(name="name")
    public String name;
}

And this is the code:
-------------------------

    Service service = new Service();
    service.parameters = new HashSet<Parameter>();
    service.name = "test";
    Parameter param = new Parameter();
    param.name = "test";
    service.parameters.add(param);
    em.persist(service);
    em.flush();


I get this excaption:
-------------------------

Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Field 'service_id' doesn't have a default value
Error Code: 1364
Call: INSERT INTO tbl_service_parameters2 (name) VALUES (?)
    bind => [test]
