Hi all,

I've just found out that a self-made annotated validation method called public boolean isAnsprechpartner() annotated with @AssertTrue breaks the entire persisting functionality of my application. ClassCastException!

The reason: the getter is called getAnsprechpartner(). The fix: if I move isAnsprechpartner() down in the class, it works again because obviously now, for persisting the data, getAnsprechpartner() is used because it comes first in the class.

Is this normal behaviour? If not, is it documented anywhere? If not, why not? I've just spent 2 hours debugging until I found this solution.

Regards,
Robert

Hibernate shows undefined behaviour when classes contain both forms of java-bean-getters (that's getProperty() and isProperty()).
There's already a jira-issue on that matter, but that hasn't been seen to yet.
