Why cannot Hibernate find secondary table in an Entity?

I found no answers to this question which is also asked on many other forums. Although I have the tables IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI and IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI_SO present in the database, with the annotated entity class (the source code below the exception) I'm getting this exception in my JSF & Hibernate-based application:

org.hibernate.AnnotationException: Cannot find the expected secondary table: no IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI available for net.ozar.bpm.entity.bkt.Bayi

Bayi.java

@Entity
@Table(name = "IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI")
@SecondaryTable(name="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI_SO", pkJoinColumns = @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="CUSTOMER_ID"))
public class Bayi implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 8681843504687728382L;
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @NotNull
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI", name = "CUSTOMER_ID", nullable = false)
    private Integer customerId;
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @NotNull
    @Size(min = 1, max = 30)
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI", name = "CUSTOMER_NUMBER", nullable = false, length = 30)
    private String customerNumber;
    @Size(max = 50)
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI", name = "CUSTOMER_NAME", length = 50)
    private String customerName;
    @Size(max = 50)
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI", name = "VERGI_DAIRESI", length = 50)
    private String vergiDairesi;
    @Size(max = 20)
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI", name = "VERGI_NO", length = 20)
    private String vergiNo;
    @Size(max = 150)
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI", name = "OPERATOR", length = 150)
    private String operator;
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI_SO", name = "SOZLESME", length = 5)
    private String sozlesme;
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI_SO", name = "SOZLESME_UYGUN", length = 5)
    private String sozlesmeUygun;
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI_SO", name = "KEFIL_IMZA", length = 5)
    private String kefilImza;
    @Column(table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI_SO", name = "ACIKLAMA", length = 2000)
    private String aciklama;

    public Bayi() {
    }

    // getters and setters
    // ...

}

What I'm really trying to achieve is get the resultset which I obtain running the following query mapped to the Bayi (entity) object:

SELECT B.CUSTOMER_ID, B.CUSTOMER_NUMBER, B.CUSTOMER_NAME, B.VERGI_DAIRESI, 
B.VERGI_NO, C.SOZLESME, C.SOZLESME_UYGUN, C.KEFIL_IMZA, C.ACIKLAMA  FROM   
IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI B LEFT JOIN IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI_SO C ON B.CUSTOMER_ID = 
C.CUSTOMER_ID WHERE ORG_ID = 102

When I read the error message correct, then Hibernate tryes to access IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI as an secondary table. But IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI is your primary and not secondary table.

After an quick look at some examples (I have never used @SecondaryTable) before, I seams that Hibernate expect the table name in the @Column attribute ONLY for the attributes mapped to the secondary table. (This match the error message)

So I guess you should remove the table="IAS_FORM_BKT_BAYI" from the @Column attribute of the attributes mapped to the primary table.

This is quite correct and same in my case. Hibernate (3.0) will only look-up to table attribute if the field belongs to secondary table. For fields, which belongs to primary table, there is no table attribute required. I removed that and got away with "cannot find secondary table" error. Quite weird from the framework perspective ! It may be projected as supressed warnings to the annotations...

Thank you, Pratik

its not seeing any issue in you code dear, but may be it seems a hibernate issue, try to make your table names and subtable name using small letter, then it will work fine

converting from upper to lower case worked for me, i hope it will work for you too.

@Entity
@Table(name = "ias_form_bkt_bayi")
@SecondaryTable(name="ias_form_bkt_bayi_so", pkJoinColumns = @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="customer_id"))

I had a similar problem (something has to do with uppercase table names) and the solution was to set PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl in the application.properties:

spring.jpa.hibernate.naming.physical-strategy=org.hibernate.boot.model.naming.PhysicalNamingStrategyStandardImpl
