[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-6475) Metamodel check fails when subclasses are used

Metamodel check fails when subclasses are used ---------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6475 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6475 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: annotations, core, entity-manager Affects Versions: 3.6.6, 4.0.0.Beta4 Reporter: kk Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Situation: Class 'AbstractIntake' which has the field 'm_startDate' Class 'Intake' extends 'AbstractIntake' In Class 'AbstractIntake_.java" there is the line: public static volatile SingularAttribute<WorkOrder, MESDateField> m_startDate; 'm_startDate' is of type MESDateField which is an Embeddable object. Result: I get the following error when the metamodel is checked: Unable to locate static metamodel field : gti.domain.Intake_#m_startDate Expected: 'Intake_' subclasses 'AbstractIntake_' and therefore has access to the static variable 'm_startDate' (in AbstractIntake_). The errormessage is therefore not valid! Hints: MESDateField is an Embeddable object. It seems to only to go wrong with Embeddable objects. Maybe the problem is in "MetadataContext.registerAttribute()'. There ONLY the getDeclaredField(name) of the class is checked but NOT the subclasses of that class!
