Java Spring with Hibernate Integrating Hibernate with Spring Add JPA Annotations to an Entity

Add a default constructor to the Language class so that JPA providers can reliably instantiate Language objects.

You get the idea.

com/teamtreehouse/coding/model/Language.java
package com.teamtreehouse.coding.model;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class Language {

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

  @Column
  private String name;

  public Language(Long id, String name) {
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
  }

  public Long getId() {
    return id;
  }

  public void setId(Long id) {
    this.id = id;
  }

  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }

  public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
  }
}

Anyone?
