Envers AuditMetadata Generator causes java.lang.ClassCastException: org.hibernate.mapping.Formula cannot be cast to org.hibernate.mapping.Column ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-4559 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4559 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: envers Affects Versions: 3.5.0-Beta-2 Environment: Hibernate 3.5.0-Beta-2 RDBMS: Microsoft SQL Server, version: 09.00.4230 JDBC driver: jTDS Type 4 JDBC Driver for MS SQL Server and Sybase, version: 1.2.4 Reporter: Kevin Schmidt Priority: Blocker Attachments: ExampleTestClass.java, HHH4559TestCase.java, HHH4559TestCase.java, HibernateEnversIssue-HHH-4559.zip, logForHHH4559TestCase.txt Dear Hibernate Team, I attempted to enable Envers for a Legacy Hibernate Application which uses hbm.xml based mapping files. The building of the SessionFactory fails due to a class cast exception in the Envers code base. It appears that while generating mapping data in the AuditMetadataGenerator it is assumed that a discriminator is a Column, but it can also be a Formula. This causes a class cast exception to be thrown as is shown below (see the last cause in the exception stack trace). I know the response is going to be attach a test case, but I am not even sure how to create a good test case. Are there instructions on the wiki some where? Some starting project I could use to create the test case? In order to reproduce this issue I think it is as simple as enabling auditing for an entity which has a discriminator based on a formula instead of a column.
