Hibernate throws an acception claiming that it can't find the getter for any member where the first letter is lower case and the second letter is upper case. The code below is considering a property with the name sICCode__c, though if I change that element to siCCode__c then the same error is thrown on a different element later in the hibernate file.

Is this a known error? Is there a work around? Changing each of these elements to start with two lower case letters does fix this problem, but I run into problems in other parts of the program if I do this, so it isn't a pracial solution.

Any ideas?

If you need more code than is present below, please let me know and I would be more than happy to provide it.

Hi rhuber,

use this getter and setter method:



You have to write it this way, if the first letter of your propery is lowercase and the following one uppercase.

Best regards
Sven

Of course, you have to leave out the BBCode. Don't know why it didn't get red there...

None of the formating works inside the [code] tags.

You're right. My fault...

Thank you very much sven, that did the trick.

Is this a java quirk that I have never noticed before or is this an issue within hibernate itself?

FieldProperty.getAccessorName() in hibernate-tools 2.0 does not produce accessornames according to this rule and in the case of a field name SICCode gives an accessor name of sICCode.

As far as I know, it is a Java guideline to write it this way and not Hibernate specific resp. CGLIB specific.
My Java IDE also writes it this way when creating the accessor methods automatically.



Unfortunately, I don't have an official resource which deals with this topic.
Though I hope it helps.

There is still one issue with the way hibernate looks up the methods
for a given property name.

Suppose you have a property with a name like "xCoord" (first
lowercase, second uppercase, rest doesn't matter). Not the accessor
methods in the source code will be getXCoord and setXCoord.

The way BasicPropertyAccessor.getterMethod is implemented however
this method is not found. The reason is the special case for
decapitalizing accessor names. So getXCoord will become XCoord
and will stay XCoord after decapitalizing. This doesn't match the
property name. So this direction (accessor method name ->
property name) looses information. Better is the other direction
(property name -> accessor method name) with a final method lookup.

BasicPropertyAccessor.getterMethod should be changed.
