boolean "is" method

[andy hardy]

Hi

I have a boolean attribute e.g.

boolean isAttribute;

For some reason hibernate expects a getter for this i.e.

public boolean getIsAttribute() {
return isAttribute;
}


Id really like to just use an "is" method i.e.

public boolean isAttribute() {
return isAttribute;
}


Any ideas why there is this restriction? I'm guessing it's to do with something like hibernate using BeanUtils under the covers and thats the default pattern. Even so I;d expect this to be a recognised and preferred pattern.

Thanks
Andy

try just making the var

boolean attribute;

public boolean isAttribute()
{ return attribute; }

And make sure you map it as a boolean.

It should look for an is method.
