Bug in determining the getter method for property -------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3724 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3724 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Environment: hibernate-core-3.3.1.GA.jar, Oracle Express Edition 10g Reporter: Senthil Priority: Minor I have an entity class with a property "String nextOnError" mapping to the database column "varchar nextOnError". I have a getter method "String getNextOnError()" defined in the class. But I also have another method "boolean isNextOnError()" for my other processing in the application. I was expecting hibernate would pick the getter method "String getNextOnError()" as the getter method but it is not. It is always picking the "boolean isNextOnError()" and resulting in "Class cast exception: java.lang.Boolean" during insertion. This is because, for each property, in the class "org.hibernate.property.BasicPropertyAccessor", the method "getterMethod(Class theClass, String propertyName)" is looping through all the getter methods with no arguments. The loop breaks when it finds any method starts with either "isNextOnError()" or "getNextOnError()". Unfortunately, in my case, it always ends up with "boolean isNextOnError()". I think the correct way is to check all the methods for starting with get... and if nothing is found, then start looking for method starting with 'is...' .
