NPE reading metadata from an mapped interface --------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4063 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4063 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: envers Affects Versions: 3.3.2 Environment: Hibernate-core 3.3.2GA, Envers 1.2.1GA Reporter: Hernán Chanfreau Attachments: interface.mapping.test.zip The problem arises when there is a mapped interface to load as a persistent class. The metadata reader from envers do not care about interfaces. See the discussion about it here: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=156233 We've patch envers doing this: In AuditedPropertiesReader.addPropertiesFromClass(XClass clazz) we add the condition superclazz != null. private void addPropertiesFromClass(XClass clazz) { XClass superclazz = clazz.getSuperclass(); // superclazz != null applies when superclazz is an interface if ((superclazz != null) && (!"java.lang.Object".equals(superclazz.getName()))) { addPropertiesFromClass(superclazz); } addFromProperties(clazz.getDeclaredProperties("field"), "field", fieldAccessedPersistentProperties); addFromProperties(clazz.getDeclaredProperties("property"), "property", propertyAccessedPersistentProperties); } -- 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
