Exception: org.hibernate.PropertyNotFoundException: Could not find setter for IEN on class ...MailLists

Code resulting in exception:


Class generated by hbm2java:


It seems like the problem is because the database table column name is IEN and the transformer is looking for setIEN(). I cannot change the generation of the MailLists class, so what other options are available to populate MailLists?

Thanks.

Hibernate uses the fields (with Reflection), not the setters, so you have two options:

1. You change the field name to:



2. You add an alias to your query:

Unfortunately, option 1 is out because the class is generated. Option 2 does not work either because the query is actually a procedure call. But, I was able to add the alias to the stored procedure query and all is good now.

Thanks.

AliasToBeanResultTransformer tries set a property to the MailLists using a setter or a field (AliasToBeanResultTransformer#L90) . So, this should work too (at least with Hibernate 5)


Using such setters is undesirable, of course. To solve the issue a custom result transformer can be used: mapping Hibernate query results to custom class?
