Question

I use Hibernate 3.6.8. Here is my tables:

CREATE TABLE UTILIZATION (
ID BIGINT NOT NULL GENERATED BY DEFAULT AS IDENTITY 
... 
FK_WORKCATEGORY SMALLINT,
CONSTRAINT PK_UTILIZATION PRIMARY KEY ( ID));

CREATE TABLE DB2ADMIN.WORKCATEGORY(
ID SMALLINT NOT NULL,
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR(50),
CONSTRAINT PK_WORKCATEGORY PRIMARY KEY(ID));

ALTER TABLE UTILIZATION ADD FOREIGN KEY (FK_WORKCATEGORY) REFERENCES WORKCATEGORY(ID); 

my Pojos:

@Entity
@Proxy(proxyClass=IWorkCategory.class)
@Table(name="WORKCATEGORY")
public class WorkCategory extends BoBase implements Serializable, IWorkCategory{

    @Id
    private Integer Id;
    private String description;

    @Override
    public Serializable getId() {
        return Id;
    }
    @Override
    public void setId(Serializable id) {
        Id = (Integer)id;
    }
    @Override
    public String getDescription() {
        return description;
    }
    @Override
    public void setDescription(String description) {
        this.description = description;
    }   
}

@Entity
@Proxy(proxyClass=IUtilization.class)
@Table(name="UTILIZATION")
public class Utilization extends BoBase implements Serializable, IUtilization{

    @Id     
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long Id;    

    private WorkCategory workCategory;


    @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY, targetEntity=WorkCategory.class)
    @JoinColumn(name="FK_WORKCATEGORY", updatable=false, insertable=false)
    public WorkCategory getWorkCategory() {
        return workCategory;
    }


    public void setWorkCategory(WorkCategory workCategory) {
        this.workCategory = workCategory;
    }
}

As you can see the table Utilization refer to table WorkCategory by foreign key FK_WORKCATEGORY, but in Utilization pojo, i declare this property with the name workCategory.
When I run unit test for Utilization bo = UtilizationDAO.get(new Long(123)), the SQL is generated with the column UTILIZATIO0_.WORKCATEGORY, instead of FK_WORKCATEGORY.
I have put the @JoinColumn(name=”FK_WORKCATEGORY”, in the Utilization Pojo, but it doesn’t help.
Please help me to fix this error. Thanks in advance.

That’s because you put your annotation on the getter rather than putting in on the field. Since the @Id annotation is put on a field, Hibernate expects all the annotations to be on fields.
