[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-1825) Improved mesage in Exception from Table.validateColumns

Improved mesage in Exception from Table.validateColumns ------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1825 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1825 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: metamodel Affects Versions: 3.1.2 Reporter: Bjørn Bjerkeli Assignee: Diego Pires Plentz Priority: Minor The method validateColumns in Table throws an exception when it encounters a missing column. Each time I encounter this problem, I have to start the debugger and create a breakpoint to identify the which table that has the missing column. So instead of: if ( columnInfo == null ) { throw new HibernateException( "Missing column: " + col.getName() ); } Add proper context to the Exception: if ( columnInfo == null ) { throw new HibernateException( "Table:"+this+has " missing column: " + col.getName() ); } This will make it trivial to identify and correct the bogus mapping or schema.
