  @Column("alias3")
  private Type3 alias3property;

  //getters and setters
  }

  @Embeddable
  class SomeIdClass implements Serializable{

  //serialVersionUID line

  @Id @Column("alias1")
  private Type alias1property;

  @Id @Column("alias2")
  private Type2 alias2property;

  //getter and setters
  }

The error is SQL-17006, Invalid Column Name, have been trying out variations of this setup the whole day
Should I try putting Column(“lame_table_name.name”)

I also tried using SqlResultSetMapping (and removed @Column from fields of POJO) (and specifying all the column aliases in the columns attribute of SqlResultSetMapping) (are we supposed to specify the resultsetmapping again when executing the query via the setResultSetMapping method of the SQLQuery interface?)

Answer 1

Well, earlier I was trying to specify both the columns and entities attributes in the resultsetmapping, so I tried removing the entity mappings, keeping the columns attribute, and calling the aliastobean result transformer, that plus writing setters to accept BigDecimal instead of Long (since its an Oracle DB), solved the issue…
