We are running into a problem with a relatively simple use-case.

Let's say that we have a class called Parent that defines a property called 'component' to reference a 'Component' class. It is mapped in hibernate using the '<component>' element.

How can one write an HQL batch update that will work against the properties contained in the component? I've tried the following to no avail:

- 'update Parent set component.property1 = :property1'
- 'update Parent set property1 = :property1'
- 'update Parent set Parent.component.property1 = :property1'

I was hoping that someone could point me in the right direction.

Appreciate the help,
Amit

Try:



Make sure you are using the latest release of HB 3.1.


Right, steve?

Actually either form works:

update Parent p set p.component.property1 = :value
update Parent set component.property1 = :value

The later is equivalent to your first attempt, so not sure why this would fail. What version are you using? What is the exception?

Worked!

Thanks.

I was using 3.0.5.
