It inherits one - Product extends my BaseEntity class which has the 
following:

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class BaseEntity extends BaseObject implements 
Serializable {
        private Long id = null;

        /**
         * @return the id
         */
        @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
        public Long getId() {
                return id;
        }
<.. more stuff ..>

This works fine with my other POJOs that also inherit from it and currently 
use the Generic Daos, Managers etc.
