Actually Giovanni Lovato I was mistaken. Adding @Access here is a work-around - @Access(FIELD) is what is in effect logically anyway because the containing managed type (the entity) is using field access already.

Hibernate proper already understands this. The generator however does not. It is a limitation of it being AP based. It’s something we should fix at some point, super low priority for me though. Hit me up on Zulip or Gitter if you are interested in giving it a try and we can discuss it
