Specifying the referencedColumnName in a @JoinColumn in backtics like `uid` fails ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-5103 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5103 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: annotations Affects Versions: 3.2.4.sp1 Environment: EAP 4.3 with Hibernate commons annotations 3.0.0.GA and Hibernate core 3.2.4.sp1.cp09 Reporter: Samuel Mendenhall Priority: Minor Given a column with a defined name in backtics like so @Id @GeneratedValue @Column(name = "`uid`") private long userid; A @JoinTable/@JoinColumn mapping fails if specifically referencing the backtic name, instead one must leave off the backtics so the discovery can happen based on the pk. This fails: @JoinTable(name = "SYS_GROUPS_USERS", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "USERID", referencedColumnName = "`uid`"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "GROUPID", referencedColumnName = "GROUPID")) While this works: @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY) @JoinTable(name = "SYS_GROUPS_USERS", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "USERID"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "GROUPID")) The exception is Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: Column name uid of org.domain.seam202.entity.SysUserOrm not found in JoinColumns.referencedColumnName at org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.TableBinder.bindFk(TableBinder.java:321) at org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.CollectionBinder.bindCollectionSecondPass(CollectionBinder.java:1322) at org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.CollectionBinder.bindManyToManySecondPass(CollectionBinder.java:1161) at org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.CollectionBinder.bindStarToManySecondPass(CollectionBinder.java:600) at org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.CollectionBinder$1.secondPass(CollectionBinder.java:541) at org.hibernate.cfg.CollectionSecondPass.doSecondPass(CollectionSecondPass.java:43) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.secondPassCompile(Configuration.java:1136) at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.secondPassCompile(AnnotationConfiguration.java:323) at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildMappings(Configuration.java:1121) at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.buildMappings(Ejb3Configuration.java:1225) at org.hibernate.ejb.EventListenerConfigurator.configure(EventListenerConfigurator.java:159) at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.configure(Ejb3Configuration.java:854) at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.configure(Ejb3Configuration.java:191) at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.configure(Ejb3Configuration.java:253) -- 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
