After upgrading from Hibernate 2.1 to 3.1.3 I am getting class cast exceptions all over my app.

Some I have been able to fix by changing lazy="false" but I cannot see how to fix it for other times, like the one bellow.

Thanks for any help.

Hibernate version:

3.1.3

Mapping documents:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Name and version of the database you are using:

mySQL 4.0

The generated SQL (show_sql=true):

Hibernate: select qualificat0_.id as id75_0_, qualificat0_.code as code75_0_, qualificat0_.description as descript4_75_0_, qualificat0_.type as type75_0_ from qualificationCode qualificat0_ where qualificat0_.id=?

Can you show us the code of:

com.ccg.review.service.ReviewServiceImpl.getQualificationCodeEZ ?

Ditto on posting the calling code. But the first thing I notice in you rmapping file is that your subclasses do not specify a discriminator value. Did you miss that in the post, or do you intentionally not specifiy it?

If you're loading a QualificationCode instance by doing the following:



It will fail as you cannot cast the QualificationCode proxy to a QualificationCodeEZ. This is described in better detail here:

http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/re ... ng-proxies

These proxy issues also affect Session.load() as it too returns a Proxy, not an actual instance. If you're after a QualificationCodeEZ, you should load it this way:



That will work.

I think that I am on the right track I have started adding interfaces to everything, but now I am getting another error:

Every posting I have seen about says that it is a mapping problem usually with primatives but this is not a property mapping:

<many-to-one
name="code"
class="com.ccg.qualification.QualificationCode"
cascade="none"
outer-join="auto"
column="qualificationCodeId"
not-null="true"
/>

any thoughts?

Thanks.

Hi,

you will get a better error message when you put
a file called hibernate.properties in your classpath
containing the line:



The problem can be that the method EmployeeQualificationEZ.setCode
has an unexpected type as the argument. Check your set methods
and your mapping.

I turned off cglib refelection optimizer and now I get this:

Does this mean everywhere in my app I cannot use perstent calsses directly I have to code against the proxies everywhere?

Thanks for you help.

Does this mean everywhere in my app I cannot use perstent calsses directly I have to code against the proxies everywhere?

Thanks for you help.

I'll assume that EmployeeQualification.code is referencing a QualificationCode instnace? While your java code can reference the interface, your mapping file must define the relationship using aconcrete QualificationCode implementation - not the proxy interface.
