@Embedded and @AttributeOverrides annotations issue - regression?

Hibernate ORM
1

When I add something like the following to my annotated class:

   @Embedded
   @AttributeOverrides({
      @AttributeOverride( name = "filePath", column = @Column(name = "abcFilePath", nullable = true))
   })
   private FileWrapper fileWrapper;

My expectation is that my generated table will have a column “abcFilePath”. This works fine if FileWrapper has a variable named filePath, but if FileWrapper extends some other class that has a variable named filePath (and the respective getter/setter methods), then table will not have the column “abcFilePath”.

How should I specify the override when the variable is in a superclass?

I found a workaround by specifying:

private String filePath;

… in my FileWrapper class (but no additional setter/getter required).

WRT the regression in the (edited) topic title, I am migrating code from Hib3 to Hib5 and what used to work in Hib3 does not work with the equivalent in Hib5 e.g.:

<component name="fileWrapper" class="FileWrapper">
  <meta inherit="false" attribute="scope-get">public</meta>
  <meta inherit="false" attribute="scope-set">public</meta>
  <property name="filePath" type="string">
    <column name="abcFilePath" not-null="false" />
  </property>
</component>
