Hibernate tools Seam skeleton problem

[ivan.rosina]

I'm experimenting in Eclipse with JBoss IDE, Hibernate Tools and Seam skeleton generator.
I found a bug on generated code doing reverse engineering from a JDBC connection on Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere 9.
In detail tables that have columns of type char(1) generate code with getter methods with a primitive return type of char.

OK, this is not a problem itself, but somewhere else is checked against a null value:
something like
...
if (get == null)
...

and this is a problem !

Hope this helps.

where is somewhere else ?

[ivan.rosina]

You're right !

FinderBean executeQuery method.

I suggest to fix this bug using autobox feature of 1.5

Thanks

[maxandersen]

hmm i thought autoboxing would kick in here ?

the problem should only occur on 1.4

[ivan.rosina]

No sure !

I am on 1.5 and I can resolve this problem on generated code in this way:

Generated code:
......
private char modificato;

@Column(name = "modificato", unique = false, nullable = false, insertable = true, updatable = true, length = 1)
public char getModificato() {
return this.modificato;
}
......


To fix this problem just change the return type of the method like:
@Column(name = "modificato", unique = false, nullable = false, insertable = true, updatable = true, length = 1)
public Character getModificato() {
return this.modificato;
}
