Hi all,

I have the mapping:

<hibernate-mapping default-cascade="none" auto-import="true">
<class name="com.im.Trail" table="trail" mutable="true" polymorphism="implicit" dynamic-update="false" dynamic-insert="false">
<id name="id" type="long" unsaved-value="0">
<generator class="native">
</generator>
</id>
<many-to-one name="aEndTerminal" class="com.im.Ttp"/>
<many-to-one name="zEndTerminal" class="com.im.Ttp"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

and am getting the following:

net.sf.hibernate.PropertyNotFoundException: Could not find a getter for aEndTerminal in class com.im.Trail
at net.sf.hibernate.util.ReflectHelper.getGetter(ReflectHelper.java:206)
at net.sf.hibernate.persister.AbstractEntityPersister.<init>(AbstractEntityPersister.java:571)

TIA,

You have to implement a method getAEndTerminal in class com.im.Trail.

Hibernate adds "get" to the property name of the map and changes to fist letter to uppercase.

Hi all,

I forgot to mention that I use the Hibernate code generator and I do get the getters and setters generated correctly.
Te problem is with the uppercase/lower case. I experimented and when the mapping attribute is all lowercase and the code generator generates the getter with the word "get" followed by attribute uppercase and the rest stay lowercase all is ok. When the attribute has a combination of uppercase and lowercase hibernate gets confused.

thanks.

I just "discovered" that hbm2java uses it's own naive method to decaptilize stuff - this should be changed to Introspector.decaptilize(name)

This will be changed, ASAP ;)


...actually it is in the CVS now ;)

Hi max,

Thanks for the quick fix.
Could you please tell me exactly where in CVS did you check in the code. Somehow I fail to find it.

Thanks.

Hi guys,

Looks like we've come to a conclusion of this matter. The problem is Introspector.decapitalize()
It has a "special case" that we're hitting, quote from javadoc:

" This normally means converting the first character from upper case to lower case, but in the (unusual) special case when there is more than one character and both the first and second characters are upper case, we leave it alone."

I've created a copy of Introspector.decapitalize inside ReflectHelper.java without the "special case" and all works like a charm.

Let me know how can I submit the fix.

Thanks,
Steve
