[jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-1613) Exception thrown when enhancing a (property access) class that has an abstract @MappedSuperclass with no annotated properties

["Donald Woods (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1613?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12856082#action_12856082 ] 

Donald Woods commented on OPENJPA-1613:
---------------------------------------

For 1.0 (and 2.0) apps, you can use a orm.xml to specify the access-type as an attribute on the entity -
<xsd:simpleType name="access-type"> <xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>
This element determines how the persistence provider accesses the state of an entity or embedded object.
</xsd:documentation> </xsd:annotation> <xsd:restriction base="xsd:token">
<xsd:enumeration value="PROPERTY"/>
<xsd:enumeration value="FIELD"/> </xsd:restriction>
</xsd:simpleType>

> If you have a class (using property access) that has an abstract @MappedSuperclass that happens to have no annotated methods, you get the following exception when enhancing:
> org.apache.openjpa.util.MetaDataException: "implicit property access" for class "org.apache.openjpa.persistence.simple.SubclassPerson" is not consistent with "implicit field access" used by its persistent superclass "org.apache.openjpa.persistence.simple.AbstractSuperclass".  All persistent classes in an inheritance hierarchy must use a single implicit field or property based access style or explicitly declare an access style.
> Presumably the enhancer is deciding incorrectly that the superclass is using field access. A workaround is to annotate the superclass with @Access(AccessType.PROPERTY)  so the enhancer doesn't make this assumption, but that is not JPA 1.0 backwards compatible.
> This did not occur in any of the OpenJPA 1.* versions
