I have a JPA project which searches tweets by keword and should persist the key - tweet pairs in the database. The project has the following entities :

Code:
**User** entity

    @Entity
    @Table(name="users")
   
    public class User implements Serializable{

       private static final long serialVersionUID = -2220172753332595462L;
   
       @Id
       @Column(name="user_id")
       private long userId;
       
       @Column(name="screen_name")
       private String screenName;
   
       @Column(name="profile_image_url")
       private String profileImageUrl;
   
       @Column(name="statuses_count")
       private int statusesCount;
   
       @OneToMany(mappedBy="user")
       private List<Tweet> tweets;


**Hashtag** entity

Code:
    @Entity
    @Table(name="hashtags")
    public class Hashtag implements Serializable{
   
       @Id
       @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
       @Column(name="hashtag_id")
       private int hastagId;
       
       @Column(name="hashtag",unique=true)
       private String hashtag;


**Keyword** entity


Code:
    @Entity
    @Table(name="keywords")
   
    public class Keyword implements Serializable {
       private static final long serialVersionUID = -1429681347817644570L;
   
       @Id
       @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
       @Column(name="key_id")
       private int keyId;   
   
       @Column(name="key_name",unique=true)
       private String key_name;   
   
   
       @ManyToMany(cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST)
       @JoinTable(
           name="tweet_keyword",
           joinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="key_id",
            referencedColumnName="key_id")},
           inverseJoinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="tweet_id",
          referencedColumnName="tweet_id")}
                )
       private Set<Tweet> tweets;
   


**Tweet** entity


Code:
    @Entity
    @Table(name="tweets")
   
    public class Tweet implements Serializable{
   
       private static final long serialVersionUID = -1041037108182045708L;
       @Id
       @Column(name="tweet_id")
       private long tweetId;
   
       @Column(name="tweet_text")
       private String tweetText;
   
       @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
       @Column(name = "created_at", nullable = false, length = 19)
       private Date createdAt;
   
       @Column(name="lang_code")
       private String languageCode;
   
       @ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST,optional=false)
       @JoinColumn(name = "user_id",referencedColumnName="user_id")
       private User user;
       
   
       @ManyToMany(cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST)
       @JoinTable(
           name="tweet_hashtag",
           joinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="tweet_id", referencedColumnName="tweet_id")},
           inverseJoinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="hashtag_id", referencedColumnName="hashtag_id")}
                )
       private Set<Hashtag> hashtags;
   
       
       @ManyToMany(cascade=CascadeType.PERSIST)
       @JoinTable(
           name="tweet_url",
           joinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="tweet_id", referencedColumnName="tweet_id")},
           inverseJoinColumns={@JoinColumn(name="url_id", referencedColumnName="url_id")}
                )
       private Set<Url> urls;


**Url** entity

Code:
    @Entity
    @Table(name="urls")
    public class Url implements Serializable{
   
       /**
        *
        */
       private static final long serialVersionUID = -606690240421717136L;
   
       @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
       @Column(name="url_id")
       private int urlId;
   
   
       @Column(name="url",unique=true)
       private String url;



Now I have a class for persisting a Keyword,

Code:
    public class TweetPersistent {
   
       private EntityManagerFactory emf;
       
       private EntityManager em;
       
   
       public TweetPersistent()
       {
          emf=Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("mypu");
          em=emf.createEntityManager();
       }
   
       em.getTransaction().begin();

      Keyword oldKeyword=this.findKeyword(keyword.getKeyName());
      
          
      if(oldKeyword!=null)
      {
         keyword.setKeyId(oldKeyword.getKeyId());
         em.merge(keyword);
          em.getTransaction().commit();
      }
      else
      {
           em.persist(keyword);
           em.getTransaction().commit();
      }


       
       private Keyword findKeyword(String key)
       {
          return (Keyword) em.createQuery("SELECT k FROM keyword k where
           k.key_name = :value1")
                    .setParameter("value1", key).getSingleResult();
       }
       
       
    }

As you can see in the Keyword Entity, it has a joinTable and therefore a field that can have a set of tweets.

So whenever I get a key and a set of tweets, first I make a user entity, a set of hashtags and urls out of that tweet. Then I have a new tweet entity object.
In the next step I add this tweet(these tweets) to the keyword entity object.
Now I persist this keyword.

Problem: it is a correct solution?

As you can see, if the keyword exists, I change the Id of keyword with the id of existing keyword and then merge it, otherwise persist it.


At the moment i get the folowing error :


Code:
    Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -javaagent:/usr/share/java/jayatanaag.jar
