Hi there,
I'm experiencing an issue with hibernate 3.6.7 where getPropertyNames returns an empty list if all attributes are part of the key.

Specifically, I have a hibernate mapping like this:


And a function that goes through and builds a "dictionary" of class names and properties. I have no problems until I get to this class, and for some reason, my call to getPropertyNames() returns an empty list. If there is at least one property outside the composite-id, I don't have any problems. The kludgy work-around I have is to add a dummy field outside the id (yuck!) and suddenly everything works.

Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to solve it?

Thanks in advance for your help!

After further digging, I found getIdentifierType() and getIdentifierPropertyName() do the job. For a composite key like this one, I check the type to see if it's an instance of CompositeCustomType or ComponentType, and if it is, throw it into a temporary var, and call getPropertyNames() on that temporary var.
