Confusing error message with @EmbeddedId and @Id ------------------------------------------------ Key: ANN-434 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-434 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Bug Versions: 3.2.0.cr1 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.0.cr2 Reporter: Patrick Moore trying to create an entity with embeddedid and automatically generated ids. The resulting error message was very confusing and may be a bug as well. (See below for sample files) Notice the message is that TransPolId doesn't have an @Id property when in fact it does. The problem is 'solved' by removing the @Id in the TransPolId class. This caused a lot of wasted time on my part please fix for the next person! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Some additional debugging notes: The problem is caused in part because when expanding TransPolId to within AnnotationBinder.processElementAnnotations() isIdentifierMapper == false so none of the checks looking for this sort of thing execute. I believe the solution is to change AnnotationBinder.bindId() as follows: (original): if ( isComposite ) { id = fillComponent( propertyHolder, inferredData, isPropertyAnnotated, propertyAccessor, false, entityBinder, isEmbedded, isIdentifierMapper, mappings ); Component componentId = (Component) id; componentId.setKey( true ); if ( componentId.getPropertySpan() == 0 ) { throw new AnnotationException( componentId.getComponentClassName() + " has no persistent id property" ); } } (changed): if ( isComposite ) { id = fillComponent( propertyHolder, inferredData, isPropertyAnnotated, propertyAccessor, false, entityBinder, isEmbedded, true, mappings <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< isIdentifierMapper replaced by true ); Component componentId = (Component) id; componentId.setKey( true ); if ( componentId.getPropertySpan() == 0 ) { throw new AnnotationException( componentId.getComponentClassName() + " has no persistent id property" ); } } Output: java.vm.name=Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, cache.provider_class=org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider, file.encoding=Cp1252, java.specification.version=1.5, hibernate.show_sql=true, hibernate.connection.pool_size=1} 16:19:01,109 DEBUG [Configuration] Preparing to build session factory with filters : {} 16:19:01,109 DEBUG [AnnotationConfiguration] Execute first pass mapping processing 16:19:01,109 DEBUG [AnnotationConfiguration] Process hbm files 16:19:01,109 DEBUG [AnnotationConfiguration] Process annotated classes 16:19:01,125 INFO [AnnotationBinder] Binding entity from annotated class: com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.IdUsing1 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [Ejb3Column] Binding column DTYPE unique false 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [EntityBinder] Import with entity name=IdUsing1 16:19:01,125 INFO [EntityBinder] Bind entity com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.IdUsing1 on table IdUsing1 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] Processing com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.IdUsing1 property annotation 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] Processing com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.IdUsing1 field annotation 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] Processing annotations of com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.IdUsing1.transid 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [Ejb3Column] Binding column transid unique false 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] transid is an id 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] Binding component with path: com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.IdUsing1.transid 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] Processing com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.TransPolId field annotation 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] Processing annotations of com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.TransPolId.id 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [Ejb3Column] Binding column id unique false 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] id is an id 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [SimpleValueBinder] building SimpleValue for id 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [PropertyBinder] Building property id 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [PropertyBinder] Cascading id with null 16:19:01,125 DEBUG [AnnotationBinder] Bind @Id on id org.hibernate.AnnotationException: com.transparentpolitics.core.persistence.TransPolId has no persistent id property at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.bindId(AnnotationBinder.java:1686) at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.processElementAnnotations(AnnotationBinder.java:1170) at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.bindClass(AnnotationBinder.java:699) at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.processArtifactsOfType(AnnotationConfiguration.java:353) at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.secondPassCompile(AnnotationConfiguration.java:265) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.generateDropSchemaScript(Configuration.java:682) ... 20 more @Embeddable public class TransPolId implements Serializable { @Id @GeneratedValue public Long id; @Override public boolean equals(Object o) { if ( o instanceof TransPolId ) { return ((TransPolId)o).id.equals(id); } return false; } @Override public int hashCode() { return id.hashCode(); } } @Entity public class IdUsing1 { @EmbeddedId public TransPolId id; public String value; } -- 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
