spring with hibernate

Challenge Task 2 of 2

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

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

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

  @Column
  private String name;

 //removed code here
  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;
  }
}

Hey Princess, you just had to "Add a default constructor to the Language class" and " instantiate Language objects.", see below

public Language() {}
