Hibernate - duplicate key value violates unique constraint

Question

I have the following problem

@Entity
@Table(name="tb_pessoa", schema="public")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class Pessoa implements Serializable {
   private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

   @Id
   @SequenceGenerator(name = "tb_pessoa_id_seq", sequenceName = "tb_pessoa_id_seq", schema="public")
   @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO, generator = "tb_pessoa_id_seq")
   @Column(name = "id", nullable = false)
   private Integer id;

   ...

---

@Entity  
@Table(name="tb_pessoafisica", schema="public")
@PessoaFisicaAnnotation
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "id")
public class PessoaFisica extends Pessoa implements Serializable {
   private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

   @Column(name = "email")
   private String email;

   ...

Assuming the Pessoa table has records with id 1 to 500. When I run the code below:

PessoaFisica pessoaFisica = new PessoaFisica();
pessoaFisica.setEmail("teste@123.com");

...

em.persist(pessoa);

It's happening the following error:

17:26:13,613 ERROR [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.spi.SqlExceptionHelper] (http--10.36.1.49-8180-1) ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "tb_pessoa_pkey"
    Detalhe: Key (id)=(438) already exists.

why is trying to use the id 438 and not 501???

Does anyone know what might be happening?

thank you very much

Answer 1

If you are persisting new entity, what about trying to set ID to null.

PessoaFisica pessoaFisica = new PessoaFisica();
pessoaFisica.setID(null);
pessoaFisica.setEmail("teste@123.com");

...

em.persist(pessoa);

This will ensure that the object is new when hibernate trying to persist it.
