Hello,

I'm mapping a legacy table that has three types of addresses. My main entity class is Person and I created a component class called ContactInfo.




I get this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [resources/hibernate/hibernateContext.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.MappingException: Repeated column in mapping for entity: com.blah.model.Person column: country_code (should be mapped with insert="false" update="false")

I couldn't find any example where there is a ManyToOne attribute in an embedded component in an entity class. Is it possible to do this?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks

The exception states you're mapping the column country_code more than once. I can't see any columns named country_code in the source you posted so the error must be elsewhere. You said there are 3 types of address - probably a fault in one of the other 2.

Thanks for your response Mike. It turns out I wasn't overriding the ManyToOne property correctly. I actually needed to use the AssociationOverrides annotation for the country property. It seems to work now.
