How do I cure the cause of the occasional exception IllegalArgumentException occurred while calling setter that Hibernate throws when my program attempts to load a user by name from the database?
Am I incorrectly mapping column USER_RV in table User to class Integer instead of BigDecimal or some other integer type? Note that the same application maps NUMBER columns in other tables to Integer objects, but Hibernate does not throw this exception when populating an object with a row from those tables.
Further note that the program enables RMI cache replication for the User cache only. Might this exception be related to cache replication? Is it a bug in Ehcache or Hibernate?

- Ehcache 2.2.0
- WebLogic Server 10.3.2
- Oracle database
- Caching User objects
- Enabled RMI cache replication via remote key invalidation
It turns out that this exception is due to a bug in Hibernate. One of my teammates found a related bug report, Re-assembling entity from clustered JBoss Cache may fail with “argument type mismatch”, that occurs when using Hibernate and JBoss Cache.
According to the report, setting Hibernate property
hibernate.cache.use_structured_entriesto true avoids the exception. According to the Hibernate documentation, this property “forces Hibernate to store data in the second-level cache in a more human-friendly format”. Apparently, structured cache entries also ensure that Hibernate correctly maps properties of an object in the second-level cache to the corresponding property in an entity.Javalobby has an interesting article that explains how Hibernate uses the second-level cache.
Do versions of Hibernate after 3.3.2GA also exhibit this behaviour?
