    Entity Inheritence with primitive datatypes causes a Propert

    gecco

      hi,
      when using entity inheritence with jboss 4.2.2 the EntityManager.find() call causes a

      org.hibernate.PropertyAccessException
      when called on superclass type and the subclass contains a field of primitive type.
      For example, i have two entities Person and Employee
      @Entity
      @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS)
      public class Person implements Serializable{
       @Id
       @Column(name="ID", nullable=false)
       private int id;
      
       @Column(name="NAME", nullable=false)
       private String name;
       // getter and setter.....
      }
      
      @Entity
      public class Employee extends Person implements Serializable {
      
       @Column(name="SSN", nullable=false)
       private int ssn;
       //getter and setter
      
      }
      


      now after persisting a Employee a call on
      entityManager.find(Person.class, id)
      will result in a PropertyAccessException:
      Caused by: javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.PropertyAccessException: Null value was assigned to a property of primitive type setter of org.example.entity.Employee.ssn

      the value in the database is not null, and it worked fine with JbossAS 4.0.5

          after two days of debugging, it seems the embedded hsql database in JBoss4.2.2 creates a wrong result set from the join statement.

          The statement:

          select
           person0_.ID as ID0_0_,
           person0_.NAME as NAME0_0_,
           person0_.SSN as SSN1_0_,
           person0_.clazz_ as clazz_0_
          from
           (
           select
           null as SSN,
           NAME,
           ID,
           0 as clazz_
           from PERSON union select
           SSN,
           NAME,
           ID,
           1 as clazz_
           from Employee
           )
          person0_ where
           person0_.ID=?


          results in a unexpected NULL value in the SSN Field of the resultset. which causes Hibernate to produce the PropertyAccessError.

          with the hsqldb embedded in jboss 4.0.5 the statement produces a correct resultset.
