 Post subject: Migration To 5.2.4: Problem with inheritance

Hi,

I try to migrate from Hibernate 5.0.5 to 5.2.4.

I have a problem with inheritance. It seems to me that Hibernate 5.2.4 does not recognize a column in a subclass and I don't know why.

My class implementation (not changed!):
Code:
@Entity(name = "A_Object")
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name = "DIS", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.STRING, length = 3)
@DiscriminatorValue("AD")
@Table(name = "A")
public class A {
...
private Integer nr = null;

  @Column(name = "A_NR")
  public Integer getNr() {
    return nr;
  }
  public void setNr(Integer val) {
    this.nr = val;
  }

...
}

@Entity(name = "B_Object")
@DiscriminatorValue("BD")
@SecondaryTable(name = "B", pkJoinColumns = @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "B_A_ID"))
public class B extends A {
...
  private Integer nr;

  @Override
  @Column(table="B", name = "B_NR")
  public Integer getNr() {
    return nr;
  }
  public void setNr(Integer val) {
    this.nr = val;
  }
...
}


When I try to save an instance of B, although B.nr is set (but not a.nr), in the trace the column "B_NR" is not included:

Code:
insert
    into
        TEST.A (A_COL1, A_COL_2, A_NR) // A_NR included! And set to "1", although a.nr is null and b.nr = "1"?!
     values (?, ?,...)
insert
    into
        TEST.B (B_COL1, B_COL_2, ...) // B_NR not included!
     values (?, ?,...)


The result is a ConstraintViolationException, because B_NR has a not-null constraint. (There is no constraint on A_NR)

When I rename B.getNr() to B.getNr2() so that it does not override A.getNr() any longer, everything works fine. A_NR is set to null, B_NR is set to "1". Hibernate recognizes the column B_NR and B_NR is included in the insert:

Code:
insert
    into
        TEST.A (A_COL1, A_COL_2, ..., A_NR) // A_NR included!
     values (?, ?,...)
insert
    into
        TEST.B (B_COL1, B_COL_2, ..., B_NR) // B_NR included!
     values (?, ?,...)

With Hibernate 5.0.5, this problem did not exist.

Can you help me please how to fix the problem?

Thank you in advance!

Btw:
Changing the implementation from B.setNr() to
Code:
  public void setNr(Integer val) {
    this.nr = val;
    super.setNr(val);
  }

does not solve the problem. Although a.nr and b.nr are set, the column B_NR is not detected/filled.

Hibernate properties are not meant to be extended the way you do.

So, the subclass B cannot change the class A property to map it to a different column.

Try with `@AttributeOverride` annotation:

Code:
Entity(name = "B_Object")
@DiscriminatorValue("BD")
@AttributeOverride(name="nr", column=@Column(table="B", name = "B_NR"))
@SecondaryTable(name = "B", pkJoinColumns = @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "B_A_ID"))
public class B extends A {

....

}

Hi Vlad,

thank you very much for your reply!

With Hibernate 5.0.5 (and previous) the result was, that columns A.A_NR and B.B_NR were filled.
With Hibernate 5.2.4, B.B_NR is ignored.

My first attempts with @AttributeOverride had no effect, Hibernate does not try to fill B.B_NR. Perhaps my problem is, that I annotate methods, not fields. Still thinking about it.

(My aim wasn't to change class A property to map it to a different column. My aim was that class A property is mapped to table A column a.a_nr, and class B property is mapped to table B column b.b_nr. But perhaps the problem is that I annotate methods - not fields - and b.getNr() overrides a.getNr()).

Ok, the solution is to drop and forget B.B_NR and to migrate old database entries ;-)
