[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2052) org.hibernate.pretty.MessageHelper.collectionInfoString tries to cast wrong object to String, causes ClassCastException

org.hibernate.pretty.MessageHelper.collectionInfoString tries to cast wrong object to String, causes ClassCastException ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2052 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2052 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Tree 'Huggy Bear' Hugger Attachments: bugtest.zip Debug level logging attempted by MessageHelper falls over when constructing a loggable string for a mapped collection on the main entity. Following the code in the stacktrace, I can see that MessageHelper expects the parent key for the collection relationship to be the primary key, but it is mapped to another field of a different type via a property-ref. Hence the ClassCastException below. The work around is to set logging to INFO or higher. I have also attached a pared-down zip with the maven 2 project containing the mappings and the unit test which fails.
