"entityManagerFactory" bean creation error defined in class path - mysql

Question

I am currently building a Maven Project using Spring and Vaadin. I am trying to connect the app to a MySQL database. However, when I run the application I get an error like this:

I could not solve this error for the last couple of days. So, I can't go on with my project. I am a beginner in Spring and Vaadin. So I am open to any suggestions. I would be grateful if you could help.

Answer 1

No identifier specified for entity: com.berkturkcapar.bilshare.backend.entity.Category
Category Entity class is missing ID field. Add #Id annotation to the field that uniquely identifies the Category records (this field should correspond to the primary key column of the table)
