I'm using Hibernate version 3 and when I try to deploy my application I get an error:

My mapping file:

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>

The error is suggesting that my auto-generated java code is missing setters or getters, but its not as far as i can see, here's a snippet:

/** default constructor */
public Country() {
}

public String getCOUNTRY() {
return this.COUNTRY;
}

public void setCOUNTRY(String COUNTRY) {
this.COUNTRY = COUNTRY;
}

public String getROOTNAME() {
return this.ROOTNAME;
}

public void setROOTNAME(String ROOTNAME) {
this.ROOTNAME = ROOTNAME;
}

public String getDESCRIPTION() {
return this.DESCRIPTION;
}

public void setDESCRIPTION(String DESCRIPTION) {
this.DESCRIPTION = DESCRIPTION;
}

Any help would relally be appreciated

This is a problem in your Spring bean definition file: /WEB-INF/application-context.xml. You are trying to dependency inject a value into the 'hibernateInterceptor' (wich is a Spring class in this case) and there is no setter for it.

Try the Spring forums: http://forum.springframework.org
