one-to-one with composite-id must have common CompositeId class
---------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3993
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3993
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2.6
            Reporter: Sandeep Vaid


I have one-to-one relationship between Product and Product-Id..

I have Product (PId, PDesc) as composite-key
I have ProductBasic (ProductId, ProductDesc) as composite-Key

Case 1: I created one Composite class which is common for both Product and ProductBasic..
class CompProductRelated{
 string pid;
 string pdesc;
}
then try to fetch Product.. It worked !!!

Case 2: If i create seperate Composite class for Product & ProductBasic viz. CompProduct and CompProductBasic respectively as :

class CompProduct{
 string productId;
 string productDesc;
}

and not if i define the mapping accordingly as:
In Product.hbm.xml
  <composite-id name="compProduct" class="CompProduct">
       <key-property name="pid" type="string" column="PRODUCTID" length="10"></key-property>
       <key-property name="desc" type="string" column="DESC" length="10"></key-property>
     </composite-id>

In ProductBasic.hbm.xml
   <composite-id name="compProductBasic" class="CompProductBasic"> 
   	     <key-property name="productId" column="PRODUCTID" type="string" length="10"/>
   	     <key-property name="productDesc" column="DESC1" type="string" length="10"/>
   	  </composite-id>
Now while fetching Product (and internally it will fetch ProductBasic), it gives the following exception:
org.hibernate.TypeMismatchException: Provided id of the wrong type. Expected: class model.CompProductBasic, got class model.CompProduct

So the only approach for one-to-one with composite-id is to have a common compositeId class..
The link http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/stable/core/reference/en/html_single/#mapping-declaration-compositeid 
recommends 3 solutions (3rd being to have a common compositeId class) but as per my understanding 1st and 2nd approach will give exception for one-to-one with composite-id ...

I think this hibenate restriction (of having common CompositeId class for one-to-one relationship) is not good as it puts a constraint on how domain model (java) should be which could not be possible everytime in legacy applications..
