Hibernate - IllegalArgumentException occurred calling getter of model

Question

I'm getting this error with my hibernate model, and I can't figure out what's wrong.

Tag.java:

@Entity
@Table(name = "tag")
public class Tag implements java.io.Serializable {
    private Integer idTag;
    private String name;
    private Set<Question> questions = new HashSet<Question>(0);

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "idtag", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public Integer getIdTag() {
        return this.idTag;
    }

    public void setIdTag(Integer idtag) {
        this.idTag = idtag;
    }

    [...]

    @OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "tag")
    public Set<Question> getQuestions() {
        return this.questions;
    }

    public void setQuestions(Set<Question> questions) {
        this.questions = questions;
    }

}

Question.java:

@Entity
@Table(name = "question")
@Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED)
public class Question implements java.io.Serializable {
    protected Integer idQuestion;
    protected Tag tag;

    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
    @Column(name = "idquestion", unique = true, nullable = false)
    public Integer getIdQuestion() {
        return this.idQuestion;
    }

    public void setIdQuestion(Integer idquestion) {
        this.idQuestion = idquestion;
    }

    @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "idtag")
    public Tag getTag() {
        return this.tag;
    }

    public void setTag(Tag tag) {
        this.tag = tag;
    }

    [...]
}

QuestionText.java:

@Entity
@Table(name = "question_text")
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="idquestion")
public class QuestionText extends Question implements java.io.Serializable {    
    [...]
}

And here is when this error appears (on query.list()):

q = "FROM QuestionText WHERE tag = :tag";
query = (Query) session.createQuery(q);
query.setParameter("tag", tag);
List<Question> data = query.list();

I thought it might be an issue related to my JOINED inheritance, but I get the same error with TABLE_PER_CLASS. Do you see anything which I did wrong in this ?

Answer 1

Try this way

Tag  tag = tagDAO.findTagbyId(1);
q = "FROM QuestionText qt WHERE qt.tag = :tag";
query = (Query) session.createQuery(q);
query.setParameter("tag", tag);
List<QuestionText> data = query.list();

Answer 2

Make sure you table have the same type as the Idtag. What the error report is :type mismatch with Integer.

Answer 3

Are these methods named according to the bean naming conventions? I would say no.

Try setIdTag() and getIdTag().

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "idtag", unique = true, nullable = false)
public Integer getIdtag() {
    return this.idtag;
}

public void setIdtag(Integer idtag) {
    this.idtag = idtag;
}
