EJB 3 Compile Problems

scall · **Posted:** Tue Jan 24, 2006 11:14 pm

After upgrading to the latest annotations we are getting the following problems compiling. This is via an Ant javac task on both Windows XP and Fedora Core 4, JDK 1.5.0_06

Hibernate version: hibernate-annotations-3.1beta8

Full stack trace of any exception that occurs:
[javac] An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.5.0_06). Please file a bug at the Java Developer Connection (http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport) after checking the Bug Parade for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.
[javac] java.lang.AssertionError: cannot find method javax.persistence.Embeddable.access()

According to this, the "access" attribute was removed from the class annotations (@Entity, @Embeddable and @MappedSuperclass), as the access type is now detected automatically.

I noticed that even when you don't specify the access type in the @Entity annotation and leave it to auto detect your choice, it will still throw a compiler error. This is a really serious issue, because you literaly can't use the @Entity annotation without getting a compile error.

It certainly does work for me. You probably have incompatible jars, like HA beta8 with the ejb3-persistence.jar from HA beta7 or the other way round. If that's not the case, could you post the error message you are seeing?
