Hi all..

For a composite PK, Hibernate will create an identifer field called "compId".
Is it *possible* to access the field inside that "compId".

This HQL will *work* because I go through "compId" first:

select registrationItem "
from RegItem registrationItem
where registrationItem.compId.actvGrpId_ = '10002' "

This HQL, which try to "bypassing" compId, does *not* work, Hibernate gives error message: could not resolve property: actvGrpId_ of: com.myCompany.RegItem
for this HQL:

select registrationItem
from RegItem registrationItem
where registrationItem.actvGrpId_ = '10002'

So.. is my attempt to bypassing "compId" is possible by any workaround?
I need to do that because to avoid creating mapping between
fields where those fields are generated dynamically.

For example in my code:

/** @author Hibernate CodeGenerator */
public class RegItem implements Serializable {

/** identifier field */
private com.mycompany.PKRegItem compId;


---------------

Here's the content of PKRegItem:

/** @author Hibernate CodeGenerator */
public class PKRegItem implements Serializable {

/** identifier field */
private long actvGrpId_;

/** identifier field */
private int actvId_;

---

Here's the content of my hbm.xml
<class name="com.mycompany.RegItem" table="REG_ITEM">
<composite-id name="compId" class="com.mycompany.PKRegItem">
<key-property name="actvGrpId_" type="long">
<column name="actv_grp_id" sql-type="number(10)" not-null="true"/>
</key-property>
<key-property name="actvId_" type="integer">
<column name="actv_id" sql-type="number(4)" not-null="true"/>
</key-property>
</composite-id>


I'm using Hibernate 2.1.2, Oracle 8i.

Thanks a lot for any advice.

You can acces all fields inside your composite-id using either composite-id name, in your case it is "compId" or standard "id" name, try this:
