@OrderColumn works but <order-column> does not (if used inside an <element-collection>) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-6180 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6180 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.6.0 Environment: We have tested this problem with the following ivy.xml configuration: <dependency org="org.hibernate" name="hibernate-entitymanager" rev="3.6.0.Final"/> We have tested with an H2 Database: <dependency org="com.h2database" name="h2" rev="1.2.143" /> Reporter: Markus Müller Priority: Minor We use the following entity-mapping {code:xml} <entity name="EX_Person" class="mapping.embedded.xml.EX_Person" access="FIELD"> <attributes> <id name="id"> <generated-value strategy="TABLE"/> </id> <element-collection name="hobbies" > <order-column name="hobbies_ORDER"/> </element-collection> </attributes> </entity> {code} with this implementing class: {code:title=EX_Person.java|borderStyle=solid} package mapping.embedded.xml; import java.util.LinkedList; import java.util.List; import javax.persistence.OrderColumn; public class EX_Person { public EX_Person() { this(0); } public EX_Person(int persNo) { this.persNo = persNo; hobbies = new LinkedList<String>(); hobbies.add("swimming"); hobbies.add("fishing"); } long id; int persNo; // @OrderColumn List<String> hobbies; } {code} Our problem is that the order column "hobbies_ORDER" of table "EX_Person_hobbies" is not created on startup. We use hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto=create to create all tables at startup. As soon as we uncomment the annotation @OrderColumn all is working fine, the table "EX_Person_hobbies" gets the column "hobbies_ORDER" to store the index of the hobbies in the list. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
