Annotations Hibernate 3.5

The below annotation works when applying it to the field:

@OneToMany(targetEntity=TestMany.class,
            cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
            @JoinColumn(name="TESTID")

private Set<TestMany> testManys = new HashSet<TestMany>();

But fails when I place it above the getter below:

public Set<TestMany> getTestManys() {
    return testManys;
}

With the following error:

Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: java.util.Set, at table: TEST, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(testManys)]

The Many side of the relationship:

@SuppressWarnings("serial")
@Entity
@Table(name="TESTMANY")
public class TestMany  extends BaseEntityImpl{

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name="TESTID", insertable=false, updatable=false)
private Test test;

I don't know why it works on the property but not on the getter and it's driving me nuts. The tables are fine and the annotation seems fine to me. Am I missing something very obvious? Could it be a version problem?

There is a basic base class but i dont think this has anything to do with it:

@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class BaseEntityImpl implements BaseEntity, Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 7887314289537012320L;

    @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = AUTO)
    @Column(name = "ID")
    private Long id;

    public Long getId() {
        return id;
    }

    @SuppressWarnings("unused")
    private void setId(Long id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
}

I am using version 3.5.3-Final and 3.2.0.Final for the hibernate-coomons-annotations.

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
        <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
        <version>3.5.3-Final version>

Does anyone开发者_开发技巧 have any ideas or experienced something similar? I've spent 2.5 hours of my life trying to fix this one and I predict another 12.

I'm unable to test the solution right now (I'm unfortunately stuck with a computer with less than a quadrillion gigabytes of RAM, so no Hibernate launching here), but as the doc demonstrates, your set needs a type, so instead of:

@OneToMany(targetEntity=TestMany.class, cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="TESTID")
private Set testManys = new HashSet();

you use:

@OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL, fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="TESTID")
private Set<TestMany> testManys = new HashSet();

and it should do the trick. In case you don't like the Hibernate documentation, you might enjoy reading this.
