Hello,

First of all, thanks for this truly impressive product!

Now, over to a problem which I tried to overcome most of yesterday..

I have a table-per-class hierarchy mapping with a superclass and a subclass.

In addition I have a third table/class which I want to associate to the subclass. It looks like this:

Code:
TABLE1 --+--> SuperClass (has property "assocKey")
         |
         +--> SubClass

TABLE2 -----> OtherClass
               <many-to-one>
                   class="SubClass"
                   property-ref="assocKey"


The reason I'm using property-ref is that assocKey is not the
primary key of SuperClass.

When loading the mapping into Hibern8 IDE I get the following
errormessage:

net.sf.hibernate.MappingException: property-ref not found: assocKey in class: SubClass

So, it almost looks like SubClass doesn't inherit the property assocKey
from SuperClass. I have also tried to add assocKey to SubClass (which doesn't make sense, and instead I got another errormessage).

The generated SubClass (from the hbm.xml file) do extend
SuperClass

More detailed mapping follows:

SuperClass and SubClass mapping:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 2.0//EN"
    "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd" >
   
<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="SuperClass"
    table="TABLE1"
>
    <id
        name="id"
    </id>
   
    <discriminator column="DISCR_COL" type="java.lang.String"/>
       
    <property
        name="assocKey"
        column="ASSOCKEY"
        type="java.lang.String"
        length="19"
    />

    <!-- subclasses -->
   
    <subclass name="SubClass"
        discriminator-value="contractor">                 
    </subclass>
                   
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

OTHERCLASS mapping:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
    "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 2.0//EN"
    "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd" >
   
<hibernate-mapping>

<class  name="OtherClass"
    table="OTHERTABLE"
>
    <id (...)
     </id>
       
    <!-- associations -->
   
    <many-to-one
        name="subClass"
        class="SubClass"       
        property-ref="assocKey"
        unique="true"/>
</class>


Stack trace when loading the mapping:

The mapping makes no sense at all. Please look again at http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/reference/html/or-mapping.html#or-mapping-s1-9, the property-ref should be in a one-to-one element and the other side should be a "many-to-one".

Thanks for your reply!

The strange thing is that when I have a <many-to-one> mapping in OtherClass (as it should be) then I get no errormessage when class="SuperClass" and the queries seems to be correctly generated.

But when class="SubClass" I get the property-ref not found error when Hibernate loads the metadata.

According to the documentation it should be possible to use property-ref in a <many-to-one>...

It could very well be that I'm doing some stupid mistake, but its really strange when everything works with an association to the superclass but not the subclass.

How can we do this on a one-to-many association where we need to indicate that the association (property-ref) points to a column other than the primary key of the original table?

In my experience, this is a common case in legacy databases.

Should a different mechanism be used?

Thanks
