Re: Violation of unique constraint $$: duplicate value(s) for column
I have set the field name with a default value in the class ProcessDefinition but the error is still there. If I remove the annotation on the method getName, it works !!! //@Column(unique = true) public String getName() { return name; } What is the solution for HSQL DB ? Remark : Even if the reason of the message displayed in the error is that the field null, the message displayed is not very helpfull for the user (Violation of unique constraint $$: duplicate value(s) for column) --> must Violation of unique constraint $$: cannot insert null value(s) for column !!!
