Hibernate issue java.lang.Boolean cannot be cast to java.lang.String Using JDK 1.7

Question

I am facing issue with Hibernate.

Using Hibernate 3.2.6 and JDK 1.7.0_21

Is this issue coming due to JDK compatibility with Hibernate version?

This issue is random. I still unable to find steps to reproduce.

Code getEventById

public EventDTO getEventById(Integer eventId,boolean logActivity, Session session)throws Exception {

    EventDTO event = null;
    Transaction transaction = null;
    try {

        if (session == null) {

            if(logActivity){

        event = (EventDTO) super.getByPrimaryKey(EventDTO.class, eventId,session);


        if(transaction!=null){

    return event;

}

Method : getByPrimaryKey

protected BaseEventDTO getByPrimaryKey(Class clazz, Integer pk,Session session) throws Exception{

    BaseEventDTO dto = null;
    Transaction tx = null;

    try {

        if (session == null)  {
            session = HibernateSessionFactory.getSession();
        }
        dto = (BaseEventDTO) session.get(clazz, pk);
        return dto;

    }
    catch(Exception e){
        LOGGER.error(e);
        if (tx !=null) {
            tx.rollback();

JDK 7 have changed Class.getDeclaredMethods() so the order is not guaranteed. [click here]

You might have a property in Object mapping that have getter method String getProperty() as well as Boolean isPropery() that is causing problem intermittently.

Hibernate 3 BasicPropertyAccessor.getterMethod(...) some time finds getProperty() and some time isProperty() due to unspecified ordering in JDK 7 by getDeclaredMethods(). which confuses hibernate and it invokes Boolean Type method for String type property.

You need to rename one method to get expected results.
