javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: default] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory;

Question

I've been unable to run my application due to this error. Any help is appreciated.

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'entityManagerFactory' defined in class path resource [org/springframework/boot/autoconfigure/orm/jpa/HibernateJpaConfiguration.class]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is javax.persistence.PersistenceException: [PersistenceUnit: default] Unable to build Hibernate SessionFactory; nested exception is org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not get constructor for org.hibernate.persister.entity.SingleTableEntityPersister

This is the entire stack trace

Make Sure that you have a default Empty constructor for all your entity classes and getters and setters for all the fields.
