Question

Hey I have a small problem doing a query:
the query line is:
Query query = session.createQuery(“from Recipe r where r.name='” + searchString + “‘ and r.ownerid=” + userId );

the .hbm.xml file is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

</hibernate-mapping>

I get an exception – saying “Could not resolve property ownerid of Recipe …”

Why?
What have I declared wrong? Or do I do the query in a wrong way?

Answer 1

you either need to:

1) add ownerid property to the mapping

<property name="ownerid" type="int">
   <column name="ownerid" not-null="true"/>
</property>

OR

2) use r.users.id in your query (assuming User’s primary key property is ‘id’)

Query query = session.createQuery("from Recipe r where r.name='" + searchString + "' and r.users.id=" + userId );

side-note 1:
it’s better using positional or named parameters in a query instead of string concatenation – http://www.mkyong.com/hibernate/hibernate-parameter-binding-examples/

side-note 2:
as long as ‘users’ association mapping is many-to-one then the more proper name for it is ‘user’ – there is only one user associated with each recipe
