How we can make the id field of the string type a primary key?


Entity id  

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private String id;


Trying to save 

Student student = new Student();
student.setId("tetasasa");
student.setName("Peter Smith");
student.setEmail("peter.smith@gmail.com");
student.setAddress("New York, USA");
student.setPhone("123456-2111");
studentRepository.save(student);


Error

Caused by: org.hibernate.PersistentObjectException: detached entity passed to persist: org.example.entities.Student


Solution 

@Id 
@GeneratedValue(generator="system-uuid")
@GenericGenerator(name="system-uuid", strategy = "uuid")
private String id;

Mastering Java Logging: A Guide to Debug, Info, Warn, and Error Levels

Comprehensive Guide to Java Logging Levels: Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, and Fatal Comprehensive Guide to Java Logging Levels: Trace, Debug, Info, Warn, Error, and Fatal Logging is an essential aspect of application development and maintenance.

Advanced Kafka Resilience: Dead-Letter Queues, Circuit Breakers, and Exactly-Once Delivery

Introduction In distributed systems, failures are inevitable—network partitions, broker crashes, or consumer lag can disrupt data flow. While retries help recover from transient issues, you need stronger guarantees for mission-critical systems. This guide covers three advanced Kafka resilience patterns: Dead-Letter Queues (DLQs) – Handle poison pills and unprocessable messages. Circuit Breakers – Prevent cascading failures when Kafka is unhealthy. Exactly-Once Delivery – Avoid duplicates in financial/transactional systems. Let's dive in! 1. Dead-Letter Queues (DLQs) in Kafka What is a DLQ? A dedicated Kafka topic where "failed" messages are sent after max retries (e.g., malformed payloads, unrecoverable errors). ...
