NullPointerException when scaffolding a table with composite key in Grails

Question

I have a table (Oracle 12c DB) which does not include an explicit ID column in Grails (3.3.9) and I'd like to scaffold it dynamically. Thus, I tried to create a composite key consisting of all its columns (none of them nullable), as that's the only workaround that I've been able to find, so that the code looks like this:

class AliasFrequencyDict implements Serializable{
    String frequency
    String unit
    String description
    String lang

    static constraints = {
        frequency maxSize: 10, sqlType: 'VARCHAR2'
        unit maxSize: 1, sqlType: 'VARCHAR2'
        description maxSize: 30, sqlType: 'VARCHAR2'
        lang maxSize: 2, sqlType: 'VARCHAR2'
    }

    static mapping = {
        sort 'frequency'
        version false
        id composite: ['frequency', 'unit', 'description', 'lang']
    }
}

In the controller, I simply have static scaffold = AliasFrequencyDict. When I try to access the index, though, I get a java.lang.NullPointerException with a message reading Request processing failed; nested exception is org.grails.gsp.GroovyPagesException: Error processing GroovyPageView: [Byte array resource [view:-,-,aliasFrequencyDict:index]:21] Error executing tag <f:table>: null. The stacktrace looks like this:

Why is that so? How can I fix this so that the scaffolding starts working again?
