I have this Entity

@Entity
public class MealPlanADay {

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

    //@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = false)
    @ElementCollection(targetClass = Recipe.class)
    @MapKeyEnumerated()
    private Map<Meal,List<Recipe>> recipes=new EnumMap<>(Meal.class);

//Other fields 


    public Map<Meal, List<Recipe>> getRecpies() {
        return recipes;
    }

    public void setRecipes(Map<Meal, List<Recipe>> recipes) {
        this.recipes = recipes;
    }
    
    public void AddRecipe(Meal meal,Recipe recipe){
        if(this.recipes.containsKey(meal)){
            List<Recipe> recipesList = this.recipes.get(meal);
            recipesList.add(recipe);
            this.recipes.put(meal, recipesList);
        }else{
            this.recipes.putIfAbsent(meal, List.of(recipe));
        }
    }
    
    public void removeRecipe(Meal meal,Recipe recipe){
        if(this.recipes.containsKey(meal)){
            List<Recipe> recipesList = this.recipes.get(meal);
            recipesList.remove(recipe);
            this.recipes.put(meal, recipesList);
        }else{
            
        }
    }

Meal is an enum ex “Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner”. Recipe is another normal entity.

My goal is for each Meal lunch or dinner, I can have multiple recipes associated with that Meal enum.

The result DDL of this code above is this picture below

It looks wrong since I have a list of recipes not a single recipe. also persist this MealPlanADay entity result in

org.hibernate.property.access.spi.PropertyAccessException: Error accessing field [private java.lang.Long org.omar.recipes.recipe.entity.Recipe.id] by reflection for persistent property [org.omar.recipes.recipe.entity.Recipe#id] : [Recipe{id=8, name=Chicken Caesar Salad, category=Lunch,Dinner,Breakfast}]

as for this error I don’t know why its happening since I the id of recipe IS accessible. and normal Repository of this entity is working fine.

Should I **rethink ** my MealPlanADay entity or is there solution for this?

Thank you.
