org.hibernate.annotations.Entity ignored by AnnotationSessionFactoryBean [SPR-5787]

[spring-projects-issues]

Iwein Fuld opened SPR-5787 and commented

Based on a question from a student I tried to replace javax.persistence.Entity with org.hibernate.annotations.Entity, and found that it wasn't being picked up by the AnnotationSessionFactoryBean. Since it is documented as an extension of j.p.Entity this seems rightfully unexpected, so it would be nice if it was picked up.

Good point, we need to check for that one explicitly, assuming that a class may be annotated with that special Hibernate entity annotation but no standard JPA stereotype...

This still seems broken to me using Spring nightly 3.0.0.CI-325 (7/11/2009). Beans marked as org.hibernate.annotations.Entity are still not mapped, while simply switching them to javax.persistence.Entity fixes the issue.

This bug has been shown as resolved but I seem to have hit upon this in my project. I have marked the Hibernate entity with @javax.persistence.Entity annotation and still the spring build is not picking it up. Running the project throws up the exception

org.hibernate.hql.ast.QuerySyntaxException: CountryDetail is not mapped [from CountryDetail]

where CountryDetail has been annotated with @Entity.

-------------8-<------- snip ------

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.GenerationType;
import javax.persistence.Id;

@Entity
public class CountryDetail extends BaseObject{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
...
}

-------------8-<------- snip ------

The only workaround seems to be manually defining the entity in the hbm file.

This was in fact fixed: https://fisheye.springsource.org/browse/spring-framework/trunk/org.springframework.orm/src/main/java/org/springframework/orm/hibernate3/annotation/AnnotationSessionFactoryBean.java?r2=1276&r1=348

I don't have my test code anymore, but I didn't encounter this bug after the fix. In particular the fact that you mention having this problem with j.p.Entity makes me suspicious that something else is amiss in your situation. In other words, the CountryDetail class that you showed a snippet from can not suffer from this bug.
