Hi,

I'm setting up Hibernate for the first time and wondering if one of my hbm.xml files can contain a column mapping with a name "object.beanname", for example <property name="object.membervar.whatever" column="whatever" type="string"/>

For example, I'd like to specify "user.name" rather than modifying my class to explicitly have getter/setter methods for 'name" that just get this information from the User member variable. My application uses WebWork which handles this nicely, instantiating objects as needed if the getter method returns null. Does this facility exist in Hibernate? A simple test failed and I didn't see any documentation on the site about this.

Thanks,
Greg

Greg,

You can use access="field" with property declarations and many more....

Have a look at the Reference manual for hibernate:
