Given two entities Department and Employee forming a unidirectional one-to-many relationship from Department to Employee based on respective tables in the database in question as follows.
public class Department implements Serializable {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Basic(optional = false)
@Column(name = "department_id", nullable = false)
private Long departmentId;
@Size(max = 255)
@Column(name = "department_name", length = 255)
private String departmentName;
@Size(max = 255)
@Column(length = 255)
private String location;
@Version
@Basic(optional = false)
@NotNull
@Column(name = "row_version", nullable = false)
private Long rowVersion;
@JoinColumn(name = "department_id", referencedColumnName = "department_id", nullable = false)
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true)
private List<Employee> employeeList = new ArrayList<Employee>(0);
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
// Constructors + getters + setters + hashcode() + equals() + toString().
}
public class Employee implements Serializable {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Basic(optional = false)
@Column(name = "employee_id", nullable = false)
private Long employeeId;
@Size(max = 255)
@Column(name = "employee_name", length = 255)
private String employeeName;
@Version
@Basic(optional = false)
@Column(name = "row_version", nullable = false)
private long rowVersion;
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
// Constructors + getters + setters + hashcode() + equals() + toString().
}
While persisting this relationship as follows,
Department department = new Department();
department.setDepartmentName("x");
department.setLocation("x");
Employee employee = new Employee();
employee.setEmployeeName("x");
department.getEmployeeList().add(employee);
entityManager.persist(department);
the following exception is caused.

The culprit is the @NotNull constraint in the Department entity enforced on the field rowVersion marked by @Version. If this annotation is removed, then it goes fine - the persist operation succeeds in its entirely.
What role is played by the @NotNull constraint in this case?
The unidirectional relationship is not relevant. The exact same thing happens even though the relationship is changed to bidirectional one-to-many from Department to Employee.
It looks like the version isn't actually set until the entity is modified, therefore
rowVersionisnullwhen the entity is first created. That fails your "not null" check. Try this instead and see if it works:What JPA implementation are using?
