`id` can't be initialized with `null`

Hi,

I don't think that you can instantiate id with null in your BaseEntity. And that's why my app won't run. I don't think we have to initialize it to anything, as long as our database can autogenerate a value.

I am using PostgreSQL, so I have set my id column type as bigserial, so it would auto generate a sequence.

Otherwise, the application throws Cannot instantiate test object error.
