Sorry, I must be missing something basic with the @Embedded annotation... but I keep getting "Invalid column name" because the query only selects from 1 table. I have:

@Entity
class Foo implements Serializable
@id
Integer fooID;

@Embedded
Foo2 test;
}

@Embeddable
class Foo2 implements Serializable
@id
Integer fooID2;

String name;
}

And when I query for a list of Foo objects the SQL is:

select fooID, test, name from Foo

but the "name" column is only in the Foo2 table so we get a DB error. Appreciate if you can tell me where I went wrong. Thanks!

Why do you think that should work?

Read http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/annot ... ssociation to understand what you should be doing.

Thanks. I switched it to:

@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name="test")

and it works fine. So, I take it Embedded was not right for this case.
