Hi,

I need to map a sort of a virtual field to a database column. e.g. my class has 3 fields that go to 3 columns in a table. However, there is a 4th column who's value is composed from the three fields in the class. However, I cannot change the class of extend from it.

I was trying to work with PropertyAccsors. However, even with such a customization, Hibernate insists that the property name configured is an actual field in the Class, even though it never accesses it directly.

Could someone please help me with this.

Best Regards,

did you try access="noop" in the property mapping?

Hi,

Yes, I just tried it. It still insists that the field should be there in the Object. Besides, how will I configure my custom PropertyAccessor if I put access='noop'?
