[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-751) Hibernate reports erroneous "possible typo error" for properties with protected accessor methods

Hibernate reports erroneous "possible typo error" for properties with protected accessor methods ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: ANN-751 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-751 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.3.0.ga Reporter: Stephen R. Saucier Priority: Minor Attachments: checkForOrphanProperties.patch According to the EJB3 spec, section 2.1.1 (Persistent Fields and Properties), "property accessor methods must be public or protected." However, the checkForOrphanProperties method of org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.reflection.EJB3OverridenAnnotationReader only looks for public methods (by virtue of the fact that it is using the getMethods method of Class. I believe that the checkForOrphanProperties method ought to look at the protected methods implemented in the entity class as well in order to eliminate the erroneous warning messages that are reported when using hibernate with protected property accessor methods. I've attached a patch which implements this additional behavior.
