Component getType caches the type value --------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2782 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2782 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.2.5 Environment: all Reporter: Kiss Zoltán Component class caches the value of the type attribute: public Type getType() throws MappingException { // added this caching as I noticed that getType() is being called multiple times... if ( type == null ) { type = buildType(); } return type; } This forbids the use of 'dynamic attributes'. For eg. if you try to add new properties to an existing dynamic-component with the addProperty method, then the rebuild of the session factory will failed, because the Component property will be invalid during the validation (in the Component there will be a different column span value, then in the cached ComponentType). There should be a method like this in the Component class: public void rebuildType() { type = buildType(); } With the help of this the type could be rebuild if it is necessary. -- 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
