"MappingException: Unable to find column with logical name" in Hibernate

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Encountering an exception after migration from EAP 5.1.0 to a later EAP release (later version of Hibernate)

    org.hibernate.MappingException: Unable to find column with logical name: MY_FKPK_COL in EMPLOYEE
        at org.hibernate.cfg.Ejb3JoinColumn.checkReferencedColumnsType(Ejb3JoinColumn.java:420)
        at org.hibernate.cfg.BinderHelper.createSyntheticPropertyReference(BinderHelper.java:218)
        ...

  • The table seems to contain the column mentioned in the error message

  • Random changes to classes in the persistence unit may cause the failure to appear / disappear
