EntityBinder: Incorrect WARN message about dynamicUpdate ("Entity used on a non root entity: ignored for...") ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HCANN-30 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HCANN-30 Project: Hibernate Commons Annotations Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Shahaf Abileah Priority: Minor This my first bug so please excuse any mistakes I make in filing it, and help me correct them. I'm using PostgreSQL. I have a bunch of domain objects. Some of them are small class hierarchies. I chose to map each class hierarchy to a single table using a discriminator column. Here's one example where I have a base class (Note) and a subclass (TaskNote)... @Entity @org.hibernate.annotations.Entity(dynamicUpdate = true) @Table(name = "notes") @SequenceGenerator(name = "notes_note_id_seq", sequenceName = "notes_note_id_seq", allocationSize = 1) @Proxy(lazy = true) @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE) @SQLDelete(sql="update notes set removed = true where note_id = ?") @DiscriminatorColumn( name=Note.noteTypeColumnName, discriminatorType=DiscriminatorType.INTEGER ) public abstract class Note implements Persistable { ... } @Entity @org.hibernate.annotations.Entity(dynamicUpdate = true) @Proxy(lazy = true) @DiscriminatorValue("1") public class TaskNote extends Note { ... } Notice that I added the following annotation to both: @org.hibernate.annotations.Entity(dynamicUpdate = true) I did this because I want to keep my updates lean. After adding this annotation I started seeing warnings in my log: 2010-11-01 10:03:22,210 WARN org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.EntityBinder @org.hibernate.annotations.Entity used on a non root entity: ignored for redfin.core.domain.TaskNote I spent some time experimenting with this annotation to understand how it works with class hierarchies. I discovered that: * If I put the annotation on the child class and not on the parent class, then I get the WARN but dynamicUpdate still works * If I put the annotation on the parent class and not the child class, then the WARN goes away but dynamicUpdate does not work * If I put the annotation on both, then the WARN is there and dynamicUpdate works To me this implies that the WARN is incorrect. Do you agree? I believe this is the code that is generating the message: http://www.docjar.com/html/api/org/hibernate/cfg/annotations/EntityBinder...
