Hello to all,

I have a developed system. now i want to add hibernate in it. My issue is that my Bean contains setter,getter which does not follow standard java convention. So whenever i try to map my Bean to corresponding table,It throws exception getter/setter could not found while configuring SessionFactory.

The two options that i could think of are:

1. I generate new getter/setter according to standard convention and within them i called my existing getter/setter

2. Other is I change property name in XML mapping file so that it can find existing getter/setter (which is not following standard convention. )

Is there any third option as such I feel first option is better by considering future scenario also...but somehow can i mention which getter/setter to be called for the property in XML file?

Please help me out...

Thanks in advance.

I think you have to use field access in this case (like that Hibernate doesn't use getters/setters to manage persistent properties)

a good literature about it: http://javaprogrammingtips4u.blogspot.c ... ss-in.html

Thank you hallmit..But I am not opting to use Annotations..I prefer XML files which will lead to easy modification....

Is that the same thing can't be done from XML file?

each annotation has an equivalent xml mapping. you can control access strategy on the property level like this:

or you can set the access strategy for all class mappings:

That was really helpful..You made my day...

Thanks a lot...
