TypeDefs won't be found depending of files read-order ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7300 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7300 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Bug Components: metamodel Affects Versions: 4.0.1, 3.6.10, 4.1.3 Reporter: Stefan Schulze Labels: configuration, typedef Attachments: HHH7300-Test.zip If the Configuration first load (i.e. addResource or addDirectory or similar) an entity-mapping and after that a type, which is used by the entity, the call to buildSessionFactory() fails: > org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: testenumtype, at table: TestTable, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(ENUM)] > at org.hibernate.mapping.SimpleValue.getType(SimpleValue.java:305) > at org.hibernate.mapping.SimpleValue.isValid(SimpleValue.java:289) > at org.hibernate.mapping.Property.isValid(Property.java:238) > at org.hibernate.mapping.PersistentClass.validate(PersistentClass.java:468) > at org.hibernate.mapping.RootClass.validate(RootClass.java:270) > at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.validate(Configuration.java:1294) > at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1736) > at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:1782) > at de.ckc.sschulze.hibernate.testcase.MyTest.testFirstEntityThenType(MyTest.java:37) In the secondPassCompile the mappings are processed in the order of addition to the Configuration (in case of addDirectory, addJar and addPackage this is quite random). This can cause the HbmBinder not to find the typedef used in an entity, because the typedef is processed after the entity, so the SimpleValue-type is set to the typename in the entity-mapping instead to the name of the type-class. During validation, the TypeResolver is not able to resolve this typename (because it's no basic type and no classname), so a MappingException is thrown. I think this issue could be solved by registering a new SecondPass in HbmBinder if no typedef could be found and the type is not a basictype, which resolves this unresolved type.
