Hi
Can any one help me with this?
I have a mapping in my hbm.xml like the following.
<any name="owner" meta-type="string" id-type="long" cascade="save-update">
<meta-value value="Lov" class="com.mckesson.common.eom.reference.Lov"/>
<meta-value value="Organization" class="com.mckesson.common.eom.organization.Organization"/>
<column name="OWNER_CLASS"/>
<column name="OWNER_GSEQ"/>
</any>

<property name="ownerSeq" type="long" not-null="true" insert="false" update="false">
<column name="OWNER_GSEQ"/>
</property>
<property name="ownerType" type="string" insert="false" update="false">
<column name="OWNER_CLASS"/>
</property>

and in the corresponding POJO, the above mapping has been converted as :
private Object owner;
private Long ownerSeq;
private String ownerType;
public Object getOwner() {
return owner;
}

private void setOwnerSeq(Long ownerSeq) {
this.ownerSeq = ownerSeq;
}

private Long getOwnerSeq() {
return ownerSeq;
}

private void setOwnerType(String ownerType) {
this.ownerType = ownerType;
}

private String getOwnerType() {
return ownerType;
}

and in the corresponding table, the column 'OWNER_GSEQ' is mandatory.

Now I am not able to set values for these two columns with the above specified mapping from my code.

I can post some more details if required.

In case of use of <any> mapping, The first column holds the type of the associated entity. The remaining columns hold the identifier. It is impossible to specify a foreign key constraint for this kind of association, so this is most certainly not meant as the usual way of mapping (polymorphic) associations. You should use this only in very special cases (eg. audit logs, user session data, etc). So This may be one reason.

Thanks,
Gopal
