Hibernate version: 3

Problem: PropertyAccessException: IllegalArgumentException

I have Model with property called parent with accessor getParent() and also a utility method exists in the model called "isParent()".When I try to save this Model, Hibernate tries to access isParent(), not getParent()..why this is happening?parent is not a boolean type.

Question: Can somebody tell me, Is there any precedence for accessor?Will it take IsXX first then getXXX?

According to org.hibernate.property.BasicPropertyAccessor, it tries get before is. I don't see any other code that might override that.

Hi tenwit,

W.r.t to the disscussion http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=957800, I have found that itz still a open bug in Hibernate (http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1747).

I refered BasicPropertyAccessor.getterMethod()[http://www.kickjava.com/src/org/hibernate/property/BasicPropertyAccessor.java.htm].

Also API-Documentation for getDeclaredMethods() says "The elements in the array returned are not sorted and are not in any particular order", so you don't actually know which accessor will be chosen:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api ... edMethods()

Can you plz throw more lights on this..

The analysis in that jira issue seems correct to me. It will indeed return the first one it finds: the fact that it checks get before is is unimportant, because it checks the methods in (undefined) order, and stops as soon as either the is- or get- versions are found.

Looks like you'll have to rename isParent until the bug is fixed. isParentModel() might work. Hibernate definitely won't find that.

Thanks for the info..
Ps: Even Xdoclet fails to generate mapping for this property in hbm.
