how to resolve "IllegalArgumentException occurred while calling setter for property"?

Question

I'm trying get all the entries from Messages table using criteria

Criteria getCriteria = session.createCriteria(MessageAttributes.class);
List<MessageAttributes> unProcessedJcbMessagesList=getCriteria.list(); 

I'm getiing following exception when I'm trying run above criteria. FieldId is the foreign key from AvailableFields(AvailableFieldsIs) table.

  IllegalArgumentException occurred while calling setter for property [com.alu.jcb.model.MessageAttributes.fieldId (expected type = com.alu.jcb.model.AvailableFields)]; target = [com.alu.jcb.model.MessageAttributes@1cf3877], property value = [2]

Please help me

Answer 1

The error means something wrong with setter of fieldId . It should be like this

public void setFieldId(AvailableFields fieldId) {
   this.fieldId=fieldId;
}

but it seems in your case incorrect class (guess long) is used in the setter.

Answer 2

SQLQuery sqlquery=session.createSQLQuery(queryString);

sqlquery.addScalar("fieldId ", IntegerType.INSTANCE);

Answer 3

I was receiving this error of

IllegalArgumentException occurred while calling setter for property Version (type expected is Long but received 0)

because instead of using

Query query = sess.createSQLQuery(sqlQueryStr).addEntity(instance.getClass().getName());
retval = query.list();

I was doing

Query query = sess.createSQLQuery(sqlQueryStr)
        .setResultTransformer(Transformers.aliasToBean(instance.getClass()));
    retval = query.list();

In case it helps anyone.
