Support many-to-one multiple -property-ref ------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-3324 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3324 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Environment: Hibernate 3.2.6ga, Oracle 9.2 Reporter: Sonix Legend I have a problem in my current project. For example, I have a table which name is "A". create table A ( ... varchar2(10) a1, varchar2(10) a2, ... ); And another table which name is "B". create table B ( ... varchar2(10) b1 primary key, varchar2(10) b2 primary key, ... ); alter table B add constraint PK_B primary key (b1, b2); Then I generated two hibernate mapping files by hibernate tools. A.hbm.xml ... <class name="A" table="A"> ... <property name="a1" type="string"> <column name="a1" length="10" /> </property> <property name="a2" type="string"> <column name="a2" length="10" /> </property> ... </class> ... B.hbm.xml ... <class name="B" table="B"> ... <composite-id name="id" class="C"> <key-property name="b1" type="string"> <column name="b1" length="10" /> </key-property> <key-property name="b2" type="string"> <column name="b2" length="10" /> </key-property> </composite-id> ... </class> ... Now I wanted A "left outer join" B, so I added a "many-to-one" element into "A.hbm.xml". <many-to-one name="b" class="B"> <column name="a1" /> <column name="a2" /> </many-to-one> And I added a "one-to-many" element into "B.hbm.xml". <set name="a"> <key> <column name="a1" /> <column name="a2" /> </key> <one-to-many class="A" /> </set> I writed a HQL. "select a, b from A as a left outer join a.b as b where a.a1 = 'test1' and a.a2 = 'test2' and (b is null or b.b1 = 'test3')" When the hibernate loads the mapping files, there was not an error. But when the query executes, it report a error "column ambiguous defined". I got the sql that generated from hql by p6spy. select ... a_0.a1, a_0.a2, a_0.a1, a_0.a2, ... b_0.b1, b_0.b2, ... from ... So the error wake me up to the "a1" and "a2" columns had repeated in the "A.hbm.xml" file. The "many-to-one" element only have a "property-ref" attribute. But the "a1" and "a2" fields are used at the "where" condition or other tables associate, and I can't modify the "A" table because other systems uses it. I hope you can resolve the problem with any method. I'm apologize for my English. So sorry.
