Unable to find entity java.util.Collection

[gommo]

I have a one<->many bidirectional relation that is pointing to itself and I can an error when it deploys (Error message is Unable to find entity java.util.Collection).

I have another one of these relations set up in another bean and it doesnt through an exception on deployment (Unless maybe it hasnt been deployed before this is thrown?)

I'm wondering if anyone can see whats wrong with this relation

@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy="screenItemId")
public Collection getChildScreenItems() {
return children;
}

public void setChildScreenItems(Collection col) {
this.children = col;
}

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name="parent_id")
public ScreenItemBean getParentScreenItem() {
return parent;
}

public void setParentScreenItem(ScreenItemBean item) {
parent = item;
}

I think you have an error in you're mappedBy.
Try to change it to mappedBy="parentScreenItem"

Yeah I've tried that now, but still no go. I've even commented out all the relationship style get/setters and its now saying the same error (can't find entity java.util.Collection) when its processing the label property (which returns a string)

So I have no idea. It must be something else screwing it up. Thanks anyway

You somewhere have a
Collection getMyCollection() not annotated with @OneToMany or @ManyToMany
