JPA中could not insert: 的解决办法

报错如下：
javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.exception.GenericJDBCException: could not insert: [com.zj.bean.Person]

• persistence.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<persistence xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_1_0.xsd" version="1.0">  
    <persistence-unit name="mysqlJPA" transaction-type="RESOURCE_LOCAL">
        <properties>
            <property name="hibernate.dialect" value="org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.username" value="root" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.password" value="123" />
            <property name="hibernate.connection.url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/sys" />
            <property name="hibernate.max_fetch_depth" value="3" />
            <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

• Person.java

package com.zj.bean;

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

@Entity
public class Person {
    private int id;
    private String name;

    @Id 
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
    public int getId() {
        return id;
    }
    public void setId(int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    @Column(length=12)
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

}

在项目中，我所使用的jpa的provider是hibernate框架，数据库连接的是mysql。这里报错的原因是因为：
我们在数据库中创建person表的时候，没有设置表的id属性是自增长的，因此，只要修改下person表：

alter table person modify id int auto_increment;

然后在运行时，persist方法插入数据时，就不会报错了。
