Question

I am using JPA annotations for these two classes:

@Entity
@RooJavaBean
@RooToString
@RooEntity
@MappedSuperclass
public abstract class BaseEntity {

  @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
  @DateTimeFormat(style = "S-")
  private Calendar created;

  @Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
  @DateTimeFormat(style = "S-")
  private Calendar updated;

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

  @Version
  @Column(name = "version")
  protected Integer version;

  public Long getId() {
  return id;
  }

  public void setId(Long id) {
  this.id = id;
  }

  public Integer getVersion() {
  return version;
  }

  public void setVersion(Integer version) {
  this.version = version;
  }

  @PrePersist
  protected void onCreate() {
  created = Calendar.getInstance();
  }

  @PreUpdate
  protected void onUpdate() {
  updated = Calendar.getInstance();
  }

}
@Entity
@RooJavaBean
@RooToString
@RooEntity
public class Event extends BaseEntity {

  private Score challenger;
  private Score defender;
  ...
}

@Entity
@RooJavaBean
@RooToString
@RooEntity
public class Score extends BaseEntity {

  @ManyToOne
  private Team team;
  private Event event;
  private Integer score;
  private Boolean accepted;
}

I get an exception though:

Caused by: org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: edu.unlv.cs.ladders.entities.Score, at table: event, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(challenger)]

 at org.hibernate.ejb.Ejb3Configuration.buildEntityManagerFactory(Ejb3Configuration.java:669)

Does this have to do with having two separate fields that access the same class? Do I have to be more descriptive and specify column names or something?

Answer 1

You need to annotate the Score properties with ManyToOneor OneToOne.
