Hi, I have a very simple @Embeddable class called Email with one persistent attribute:

...
@Column(name = "email_address")
public String getEmailaddress() { return this.emailAddress; }
...

I want to override the column mapping in my "User" class:

...
@Embedded
@AttributeOverrides( { @AttributeOverride(name = "emailAddress", column = @Column(name = "email_primary"))} )
public Email getEmailPrimary() { return this.emailPrimary; }
...

However, Hibernate still tries to map emailPrimary to email_address.

Hi,

Could it be a upper vs lower case problem? In your example you pace the @Column annotation on the getter method. This means Hibernate will use property access (via getter instead of the field name) to determine the name. Your getter is called getEmailaddress whereas in @AttributeOverride your re using emailAddress. Try changing the getter to getEmailAddress().

Thank you for your quick response. Everywhere the correct case is used. I tried placing the annotations on the field as well as your suggestion to change the name of the getter. Unfortunately, to no avail.

Cheers, Martin

Sorry, It was an upper vs lower case problem after all. I looked for that bug in the wrong places.

public String getEmailaddress() { return this.emailAddress; }

should have been:

public String getEmailAddress() { return this.emailAddress; }
