[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-5024) MetadataContext#registerAttribute does not recognize inherited fields

MetadataContext#registerAttribute does not recognize inherited fields --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5024 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5024 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager, metamodel Affects Versions: 3.5.0-CR-2, 3.5.1, 4.0.0.Final Environment: Hibernate 3.5.0-CR-2, JPA Modelgen 1.0.0-CR-1 Reporter: Adrian Hummel Assignee: Steve Ebersole Attachments: bugreport.zip The embeddable class {{CustomerId}} (see attached ZIP) inherits from the base class {{AbstractIdentity}} (annotated with {{@MappedSuperclass}}). The metamodel classes for these two classes are correctly generated: {code:title=AbstractIdentity_.java|borderStyle=solid} import javax.persistence.metamodel.SingularAttribute; import javax.persistence.metamodel.StaticMetamodel; @StaticMetamodel(AbstractIdentity.class) public abstract class AbstractIdentity_ { public static volatile SingularAttribute<AbstractIdentity, String> id; } {code} and {code:title=CustomerId_.java|borderStyle=solid} import javax.persistence.metamodel.StaticMetamodel; @StaticMetamodel(CustomerId.class) public abstract class CustomerId_ extends AbstractIdentity_ { } {code} When building the entity manager factory, {{MetadataContext#registerAttribute}} (line 378) tries to resolve the field {{CustomerId_.id}} using {{Class#getDeclaredField}}. This results in a {{NoSuchFieldException}} because the field is declared in the super class {{AbstractIdentity_}}. Proposed solution: Since all field declarations in the metamodel are public, the {{Class#getField}} method should be used instead.
