one to many association with a subclass of a class having discriminator column creates wrong sql ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-3342 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3342 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: query-hql Affects Versions: 3.0.5, 3.1.3, 3.2.6 Environment: Tested on Hibernate Version 3.0.5, 3.1.1 & 3.2.6.ga. CGLIB-2.1.3 Reporter: Abhijit Assignee: Gail Badner I have one abstract class which has two sub classes and each each sub class has further subclasses. The second level subclasses doesn't have tables and only has discriminator value. As below: <hibernate-mapping > <class name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.AbstractSpecimen" table="CATISSUE_ABSTRACT_SPECIMEN" lazy="true" > <id name="id" column="IDENTIFIER" type="long" length="30" unsaved-value="null" > <generator class="native"> <param name="sequence">CATISSUE_ABSTRACT_SPECIMEN_SEQ</param> </generator> </id> <discriminator column="SPECIMEN_CLASS" type="string"/> <subclass name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.Specimen" discriminator-value="Specimen"> <join table="CATISSUE_SPECIMEN"> <key column="IDENTIFIER"/> <property name="positionDimensionOne" type="int" update="true" /> ...... </join> <subclass name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.FluidSpecimen" discriminator-value="Fluid" lazy="true" > </subclass> <subclass name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.CellSpecimen" discriminator-value="Cell" lazy="true" > </subclass> </subclass> <subclass name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.RequirementSpecimen" discriminator-value="ReqSpecimen"> <join table="CATISSUE_CP_REQ_SPECIMEN"> <key column="IDENTIFIER"/> <property name="storageType" type="int" update="true" /> ...... </join> <subclass name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.FluidSpecimen" discriminator-value="Fluid" lazy="true" > </subclass> <subclass name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.CellSpecimen" discriminator-value="Cell" lazy="true" > </subclass> </subclass> </class> </hibernate-mapping> -------------------------------------- <hibernate-mapping > <class name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.AbstractSpecimenCollectionGroup" table="CATISSUE_ABS_SPECI_COLL_GROUP" lazy="true" > <id name="id" column="IDENTIFIER" type="long" length="30" unsaved-value="null" > <generator class="native"> <param name="sequence">CATISSUE_SPECIMEN_COLL_GRP_SEQ</param> </generator> </id> <property name="name" type="string" update="true" insert="true" column="NAME" length="255" /> <property name="clinicalDiagnosis" type="string" update="true" insert="true" column="CLINICAL_DIAGNOSIS" length="150" /> ..... ....... <joined-subclass name="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.CollectionProtocolEvent" table="CATISSUE_COLL_PROT_EVENT" lazy="false" > <key column="IDENTIFIER" /> <property name="collectionPointLabel" type="string" update="true" insert="true" column="COLLECTION_POINT_LABEL" length="255" /> <set name="requirementSpecimenCollection" table="CATISSUE_CP_REQ_SPECIMEN" lazy="true" inverse="true" cascade="save-update" fetch="subselect" sort="unsorted" > <key column="COLLECTION_PROTOCOL_EVENT_ID" /> <one-to-many class="edu.wustl.catissuecore.domain.RequirementSpecimen" /> </set> ..... </joined-subclass> </class> </hibernate-mapping> -------------------------------------- In above configuration 'CollectionProtocolEvent' which is a joined -subclass of 'AbstractSpecimenCollectionGroup' has one to many association with RequirementSpecimen which is subclass of AbstractSpecimen. It was found that whenever we execute following code: line 1: CollectionProtocolEvent cpe =(CollectionProtocolEvent) session.get(CollectionProtocolEvent.class,new Long(101)); line2: cpe.getRequirementSpecimenCollection (); At line 2 hibernate generates wrong query. In select column it generates 'AbstractSpecimen.COLLECTION_PROTOCOL_EVENT_ID,...from' but it should be 'RequirementSpecimen .COLLECTION_PROTOCOL_EVENT_ID,...from..' Hence it gives error "unknown column" It has been observed that inner join part of the query gets generated properly. But in select part it always takes parent table's alias. In case we use joined-class instead of subclass without driminator everything works fine.
