hibernate jpa jakarta-ee oracle11g persistence

Solution 1

I solved the issue modifying the database: I made all foreign key columns part of the primary key of the referenced table and child columns related too, so now hibernate properly generate the sql, maybe is not the cleanest way but works.

Solution 2

In my case, the solucion was removing insertable="false", updateble="false" in the entity.

I'm using hibernate 4.3, oracle 11:

When I want to insert an employee, (it have a relationship one to many with category (one category have many employees)), first I Insert a category to db, then I try to insert an employee to the db and get an exception, the code of the entities was generated by hibernate, so I don't know what's wrong, The problem seems to be that Hibernate is not inserting ID_CAT when I'm inserting an employee, what im doing wrong? I also tried to generate tables from hibernate but gives me the same error, thanks for your attention and I hope you can help me! (category and employees are both related with entity "enterprise", but this part works well)

I edited hibernate config to show sql and console showed this:
