In my webapp I have some categories. The category can be nested in another category. So my class structure is:

@javax.persistence.Entity
@Table(name = "Category")
@XmlRootElement
public class CategoryEntity implements Serializable {
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 3738106090716428022L;
@Id
@GeneratedValue
private Long id;
private String name;
@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name = "parent_id", nullable = true)
@Null
private CategoryEntity parent;

	public CategoryEntity(String name) {
		super();
		this.name = name;
	}

	public Long getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(Long id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public CategoryEntity() {
		super();
	}

	public String getName() {
		return name;
	}

	public void setName(String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}

	public CategoryEntity getParent() {
		return parent;
	}

	public void setParent(CategoryEntity parent) {
		if (parent.equals(this))
			this.parent = null;
		else
			this.parent = parent;
	}
}

Solution above I found in web.

As you see, in database table I need refer to another object same type.
My sql table (I think it is correct in my case):

create table category (
    id bigint not null,
    name varchar(50),
    parent_id bigint null default null,

    constraint category_pk primary key (id),
    constraint fk_parent foreign key (parent_id) references category (id)

);

In this case I always get NullPointerException:

    SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet] in context with path [/Shop] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException] with root cause

Try this :

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="parent_category_id")
