                 Key: HHH-2783
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2783
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.2.4
         Environment: 3.2  Oracle 
            Reporter: Jay Schrock


The WrapperElement class has an instance attribute called "element".   This class also has a number of methods of which their signature has a parameter also called element.  In a number of these methods the name conflicts with the instance attribute and incorrect behavior.   In particular the add method has a parameter called element.  In the implementation of the add method, there is a call element.add( element).   This is incorrect and produces bad XML results and also causes recursive elements in the XML...   What should happen is that the key "this" should be used to indicate that the instance attributes "element" should be used.   I believe the implementation should be  this.element.add( element).   Also one needs to look at a number of other methods that also may have this problem....

thanks, Jay Schrock
