Hibernate unable to instantiate default tuplizer - cannot find getter

Question

I'm trying to use Hibernate to persist a class that looks like this:

public class Item implements Serializable, Comparable<Item> {

// Item id
private Integer id;

// Description of item in inventory
private String description;

// Number of items described by this inventory item
private int count;

 //Category item belongs to 
private String category;

// Date item was purchased 
private GregorianCalendar purchaseDate;

    public Item() {
}

    public Integer getId() {
    return id;
}

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

    public String getDescription() {
    return description;
}

public void setDescription(String description) {
    this.description = description;
}   

public int getCount() {
    return count;
}

public void setCount(int count) {
    this.count = count;
}

public String getCategory() {
    return category;
}

public void setCategory(String category) {
    this.category = category;
}

public GregorianCalendar getPurchaseDate() {
    return purchaseDate;
}

public void setPurchasedate(GregorianCalendar purchaseDate) {
    this.purchaseDate = purchaseDate;
}

My Hibernate mapping file contains the following:

<property name="puchaseDate" type="java.util.GregorianCalendar">
  <column name="purchase_date"></column>
</property>

When I try to run, I get error messages indicating there is no getter function for the purchaseDate attribute:

I'm new to Hibernate, so I don't know all the ins and outs, but I do have the getter and setter for the purchaseDate attribute. I don't know what I'm missing here - does anyone else?

Answer 1

It came to me once without any typos. I've added javassist.jar to classpath and it solved the problem.

Answer 2

Further on down the stack trace, it says this:

missing a getter for puchaseDate

You might want to check for typos ;) You're missing an R and setPurchasedate should be setPurchaseDate

Answer 3

It looks like the problem is probably in the capitalization: setPurchasedate() should be setPurchaseDate() (with a capital "D").

Answer 4

If it can help someone:

In my case there were errors in my mapping files. Classes were not referenced by their full package names. I did this mistake because I generated the mappings when my bean classes belonged to the default package (hence no package name; e.g.: Order instead of com.mypackage.Order) and then I moved my bean classes to package (in the example com.mypackage). Unfortunately mapping files did not changed accordingly with the new package definition.

My hint is redo Hibernate reverse engineering and see what it produces, comparing it with your current mapping files.

Answer 5

Pay attention to method name,It is case sensitive!

In my case,it could not recognize getter very well; my property name was uId and I used getUId name for getter name and when I changed it to getuId problem solved!

Answer 6

I included java assit.jar and it worked

<dependency>
    <groupId>javassist</groupId>
    <artifactId>javassist</artifactId>
    <version>3.12.1.GA</version>
</dependency>
