As the title says, what are the reasons that property access is preferred over field access?

From Hibernate In Action

Quote:
Access to properties via accessor methods is considered best practice by the Hibernate
community. It provides an extra level of abstraction between the Java domain
model and the data model, beyond what is already provided by Hibernate. Properties
are more flexible; for example, property definitions may be overridden by
persistent subclasses.
