transient fields are persisted ------------------------------ Key: HHH-5901 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5901 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Affects Versions: 3.6.0 Environment: JBoss 6.0.0.Final using Hypersonic Reporter: Frank Griffin Attachments: DBUtDVDTitleEntityBean.java This is virtually identical to ANN-132, which was marked as FIXED in 3.1. The attached entity bean (DBUtDVDTitleEntityBean) has a "private transient Object oDisks" field. The field is not annotated as @Transient, and the orm.xml does not have a <transient> (or any other) element for the field. According to spec, the "transient" java attribute should exempt it from persistence. However, if you deploy the EAR containing this Entity Bean, the error {noformat} Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: property mapping has wrong number of columns: org.profsoftsvcs.dbutils.DVD.DBUtDVDTitleEntityBean.disks type: object at org.hibernate.mapping.PersistentClass.validate(PersistentClass.java:464) [:3.6.0.Final] at org.hibernate.mapping.RootClass.validate(RootClass.java:235) [:3.6.0.Final] at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.validate(Configuration.java:1332) [:3.6.0.Final] at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1835) [:3.6.0.Final] at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.buildEntityManagerFactory(Ejb3Configuration.java:902) [:3.6.0.Final] {noformat} results. If I change the type "Object" to "Serializable", the error does not occur. However, the fact that "Object" is not Serializable shouldn't matter if the field isn't being persisted. -- 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
