@Formula doesn't work in entities referenced by @JoinColumn(referencedColumnName="...") --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-477 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-477 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Bug Versions: 3.2.0.ga Reporter: Salvatore Insalaco Attachments: ProvaBug.zip See the attached test (build with ant, place hibernate libraries in lib, run test.Test). Entity Second has a @Formula property. Entity First has a many-to-one association with Second, not on the primary key but on the ALT_ID column, using the "referencedColumnName" attribute of the @JoinColumn annotation. This is NOT the case of an association to a @Formula column (not supported), but a relation on a non-primary column of an entity that happens to have a @Formula property. During SessionFactory creation an exeption is raised: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.hibernate.mapping.Formula at org.hibernate.cfg.BinderHelper.findPropertiesByColumns(BinderHelper.java:234) at org.hibernate.cfg.BinderHelper.createSyntheticPropertyReference(BinderHelper.java:106) at org.hibernate.cfg.FkSecondPass.doSecondPass(FkSecondPass.java:63) at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.processFkSecondPassInOrder(AnnotationConfiguration.java:428) at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.secondPassCompile(AnnotationConfiguration.java:286) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1210) The bug lies in BinderHelper.findPropertiesByColumns. In the iteration starting at line 233, it tries to find the property that maps the "referencedColumnName", but it doesn't consider that some properties may not have a Column, only a Formula. The correct version should be something like this: Iterator columnIt = property.getColumnIterator(); while ( columnIt.hasNext() ) { Object next = columnIt.next(); if (next instanceof Column) { Column column = (Column)next; if ( columnsToProperty.containsKey( column ) ) { columnsToProperty.get( column ).add( property ); } } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
