[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-4364) Support @NamedQuery on a @MappedSuperclass

Support @NamedQuery on a @MappedSuperclass ------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-4364 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4364 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: annotations Environment: INFO Version:15 - Hibernate Annotations 3.2.1.GA 09:15:01,755 INFO Environment:500 - Hibernate 3.2.1 INFO SettingsFactory:81 - RDBMS: Microsoft SQL Server, version: 08.00.0760 09:15:06,114 INFO SettingsFactory:82 - JDBC driver: jTDS Type 4 JDBC Driver for MS SQL Server and Sybase, version: 1.2 09:15:06,255 INFO Dialect:151 - Using dialect: org.hibernate.dialect.SQLServerDialect Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Emmanuel Bernard Fix For: 3.5 Attachments: ANN-593.patch, BaseUser.java, TestUserService.java, User.java, UserService.java Original Estimate: 4 hours Remaining Estimate: 4 hours If I use a @MappedSuperclass (which is a very useful annotation btw) I have to manually copy any queries I want with taht class up to all subclasses. The binder should check any mapped superclasses and pull those named queries up. i.e. /** * Base User class that different projects user classes derive from. * Hibernate annotations doesn't pick up that query, so you have to copy it up to your subclass */ @MappedSuperclass @NamedQueries({ @NamedQuery(name="User.findByLoginName", query="FROM User WHERE loginName = ?") // this is useless down here, i just put it here for reference }) public class BaseUser<PK extends Serializable> extends IdEntity<PK> { private static final long serialVersionUID = -4443522925041212381L; protected String loginName; @Column(unique=true) public String getLoginName() { return this.loginName; } public void setLoginName(String loginName) { this.loginName = loginName; } } /** * Custom user class for a certain application */ @Entity @Table(name="tbl_user") @GenericGenerator(name=IdGen.NAME, strategy=IdGen.AUTO) @NamedQueries({ @NamedQuery(name="User.findByLoginName", query="FROM User WHERE loginName = ?") // had to copy this up from the base class }) public class User extends BaseUser<Short> { private static final long serialVersionUID = -6199544722824321999L; private String firstName; ... } so in short it would be nice if the scanner would check for that and bind any named queries up to the subclass
