java - Hibernate MappedSuperClass in another project -

we building complex project consist of multiple projects. , amongst these projects, 2 of them used defining base entities (like interfaces).

normally, if these projects 1 run without error codes below.

but these codes placed in seperate projects, entities derived superclass (from baseentity) causing error :

caused by: org.hibernate.annotationexception: no identifier specified entity: com.unalcable.department.security.model.approvalhistory 

so i've searched causes, , i've found out defining baseentity in hibernate's configuration concrete class other fix it. didn't...

here codes :

hibernate's configuration

baseentity.java (in project 1)

    @mappedsuperclass     @access(accesstype.property)     public class baseentity implements serializable      {         public static final long serialversionuid = 1l;           public long id;          public string tostring() {             return tostringbuilder.reflectiontostring(this, tostringstyle.default_style);         }          public boolean equals(object obj)         {             boolean result = false;             if (obj instanceof baseentity) {                 baseentity other = (baseentity)obj;                 if (other.getid().equals(this.getid())) result = true;             }             return result;         }          public string todebugstring()         {             return tostringbuilder.reflectiontostring(this, tostringstyle.default_style);         }          @id         @generatedvalue         public long getid() {             return id;         }          public void setid(long id) {             this.id = id;         }      } 

approvalhistory.java(project 2)

    @entity      public class approvalhistory extends baseentity {          public long date;         public user user;          @enumerated(enumtype.string)         public approvalstate approvalstate;          public long getdate() {             return date;         }         public void setdate(long date) {             this.date = date;         }         public user getuser() {             return user;         }         public void setuser(user user) {             this.user = user;         }         public approvalstate getapprovalstate() {             return approvalstate;         }         public void setapprovalstate(approvalstate approvalstate) {             this.approvalstate = approvalstate;         }      } 

** projects refer necessary projects in build path. tomcat has these projects in classpath **

the error might caused mixed access type. baseentity declares @access(accesstype.property) while approvalhistory has annotated field hibernate assumes uses field access type. i'm not sure this, may trying apply field access base entity well, not finding identifier.

try moving @enumerated annotation getapprovalstate() method see if case.
