JPA Metadata Model may generate the atrribute information of the entity class(Topic)
so that I can get the information by the field of metadata model(Topic_) but not String constant
, which really set free for us to modify the attribute name of entity class.

And I found that the mappedBy attribute in @OneToMany.. can not utilize the metadata model.

I have tried this way that

Code:
@OneToMany(mappedBy="${Topic_.person.getName()}")


, but failed.

Of course, it failed! That's the expected behavior.

The mappedBy attribute takes the name of the property. You cannot use Metamodel for that. Metamodel is used to construct type-safe entity queries.

So, the JPA annotations have no notation of a dynamic Expression Language (e.g. ${Topic_.person.getName()}). You have to provide the name of the property.

So, what happens you modify a property without renaming the mappedBy attribute? Well, Hibernate will not even bootstrap.
