Missing referencedColumnName attribute in @JoinColumn annotation should log error --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HIBERNATE-93 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HIBERNATE-93 Project: Hibernate Integration Issue Type: Feature Request Environment: Hibernate 3.2.4 SP1 Reporter: James Kelly Assignee: Steve Ebersole This is specifically when a @JoinColumn is part of a @JoinColumns annotation. The spec wording is: "When the JoinColumns annotation is used, both the name and the referencedColumnName elements must be specified in each such JoinColumn annotation." Hibernate accepts JoinColumn annotations with the missing referencedColumnName even though this causes unpredictable behavior.
