hbm2java generates setter

Hibernate version: 3.2.1

Mapping documents:
...
<many-to-one name="createdBy" column="CREATED_BY" class="User" cascade="none" update="false" not-null="true" foreign-key="FK_USER_CREATED_BY"/>
...

hbm2java generates Java source with a setter method even though I've asked that the property be not updatable.

Code:

public User getCreatedBy() {
  return this.createdBy;
}
    
public void setCreatedBy(User createdBy) {
  this.createdBy = createdBy;
}

it still need to be set initially when the data is loaded from the source.

But you could argue that the setter should be made protected and/or private.

You can fix that by adding a <meta attribute="scope-set">private</meta>

Yes that would work.

I'd like to have the default scope be private when the field is not updatable, but then would that force the access to be field for this property or can hibernate still work with private setter methods?

sure.
