Hibernate version: 2.1.6

Hi all,

in http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=938516&highlight=persistentclass+getproperty
David showed a technique to resolve the mapped field length. As stated elsewhere in this forum, this technique works only for properties not in keys.

This technique will not work for a key-property in a composite id. The object returned by PersistentClass.getKey does not have something like PropertyClosureIterator as getPropertyClosureIterator returns, therefor one can only get Column iterator from the object returned by PersistentClass.getKey and the property information in the mapping is lost.

Any suggestion in solving this issue ? or maybe it is solved in version 3 ?

best regards

A possible work around is to add in xml mapping file a property with same attributes as the key-property that we want its length and marks it as insert="false" update="false"

from common sense, a key-property is a property and should be in the PropertyClosure Is' nt it ? what is the rationale for the actual implementation ?
