I'm using myeclipse to develop my system.

I have a table named Tapplicationproject in my database.

When I generated the hibernate mapping using myeclipse, The following files were created:

- AbstractTapplicationproject.java
properties that I need (all are accessible from Tapplicationproject.java):
- description
- endDate
- id
- location
- role
- startDate
- tools

- Tapplicationproject.java
properties that I need: (NONE) but I'm using this class to access all fields because this is the child class of AbstractTapplicationproject.java

- TapplicationprojectKey.java
properties that I DESPERATELY need:
- applicationId
- projectName

- Tapplicationproject.hbm.xml

Now, I need to get ALL fields from Tapplicationproject table.

The problem is, the composite primary keys ('applicationId' & 'projectName' properties) are stored ONLY in the TapplicationprojectKey.java and I cannot query this class.

When I tried to query TapplicationprojectKey.java, the compiler said that TapplicationprojectKey is not a persistent class. So I have no idea how to query the 'applicationId' & 'projectName' from the TapplicationprojectKey using the HQL query.

Anyone know the way to work around this?

In your finder methods "from BlahObject p where p.primarykey.somefield = ?"

Where "primarykey" is what I called my primarykey object in my BlahObject class. I've composite examples posted on this forum, search by my username for more code and xml.
