I need to find the name of an object property that is mapped to a database column. I attempted to use the Hibernate metadata but so far I have run into a wall. Can someone please provide an example of looking up the property name using the column name?

Thanks in advance,

Randy

I guess you are talking about the .hbm.xml file. In this file, you will find the database column name that you are searching for(if you are looking in the correct hbm file)

Thanks for responding and sorry that my question was not clear.

I am having to make my Hibernate persisted POJOs work with an older section of code. Within the code I have three variables containing the class of an object, the name of the database table to which the object is mapped, and the name of a column. I want to access the Hibernate metadata using that information to figure out the name of the property that is mapped to that column. If at all possible I do not want to have to parse the hbm.xml file.

Thanks!

I think you are going to have to parse the hbm file. There is no way I know of other than that to get at the mapping info. org.hibernate.metadata.ClassMetaData just exposes the properties of a POJO, not any of the underlying mappings.

AbstractEntityPersister might be of some help. May be the getPropertyColumnNames method might be of your use. Not sure though
