Hi all,

Think that i have member field mSomeValue in an Object. I am generating code from hibernate config file via ant tasks and it names the setter and getter as:

getmSomeValue
setmSomeValue

i supposed this is a bug play a bit with BasicPOJOClass.java to make some changes for generatiing the code as our project requires (method parameters starts with a, for example),

anyway now hibernate complains that cant find a getter for member xxx,

Even more interestingly Idea does the same thing while auto-generating the accessors but Eclipse not.

So is this a bug or is there something more I dont know about Javabean naming conventions.

Sorry for taking your time with strange topic, I dont like the convention, but whatever. (and sorry for the duplicate post, unintensionally I post same thing to Tools section.)

to be more precise:

hibernate cant find getter for member field mSomeValue

where getMSomeValue() method exists....

Has anyone got an idea about this?

your property name is MSomeValue so use that instead of the wrong "mSomeValue"

Hi,

I have also got the same problems, When i change the name of the variable from mSomeValue to msomeValue, Hibernate doesnt complain. Its Strange !!!!!!

If i am right the first two letters of the variables in the POJO Class should be same in LOWERCASE.

Try it out.

Max i didnt understand your post.

think an object Game. has field score. Our projects code conventions (which I dont like) says that member field name should start with m and continue uppecase.

so score becomes

mScore (not MScore!)

(which is not against any coding conventions even if it is ugly, sorry I cant break it:) guys here seem too preservative cause I joined the project too much later)

anyway getter for mScore is

getMScore which hibernate complains about. Let me know if this is is a bug, or am I wrong about it.

Thanx.

the FIELD is named mScore.
the PROPERTY is named MScore.

Thus use <property name="MScore"/>

Max, thank you for the point but this does not solve the problem because


if I name it mScore in hibernate config file as

<property name="MScore" ..

than hbm2java generates java field as:

MScore

Any suggestions?

Don't have double cased property names ;)

put a jira request for a naming strategy for the field names. (ugh)

I dont think this is something to do with a feature request with a naming strategy

class Game{
int score
}

is defined as

<property name="score"/>

and

class Game {
int mScore
}

is declared as

<property name="MScore"/>

?????

This is an obvious bug. Why make uppercase on this, keep lowercase on that? Your advice uppercasing the field name is just a workaround so that Hibernate can calculate the getter and setter as getMScore. where for field name mScore, it calculates it as getmScore which is a bug...

[from a faq]

I have a property named like getAFoo() / setAFoo() and Hibernate throws a PropertyNotFoundException at startup.

Use name="AFoo" as the property name in your mapping files. Don't report this issue as a bug, we know about it and we can't change it. If you insist on "first letter lowercase" naming of properties, use a custom access="my.PropertyAccessor" setting.


What is this ' access="my.PropertyAccessor" ' thing? Can someone explain?

Thank you.

hibernate is access the getter/setters for your properties - not *fields*.

Fields != Properties.
