Title Body

I have a class Shop with the following variable @Column(columnDefinition = "bit") private boolean atShop; Using this value, I am using HSQL to retrieve this information from the application from Person person left join fetch person.shop when I try call this HSQL statement i get the following error org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateSystemException: could not set a field value by reflection setter of com.test.dataobject.Shop.atShop; nested exception is org.hibernate.PropertyAccessException: could not set a field value by reflection setter of com.test.dataobject.Shop.atShop It is throwing this because it is trying to set the boolean to null in the HSQL. I can solve this problem by changing private boolean atShop; to private Boolean atShop; but i want to keep this as a boolean as i am saving it as a bit in my database Is there a way to solve this without changing boolean to Boolean ? EDIT: I know that boolean can only be true/false and Boolean can be set to null, but is there a way to get hibernate/spring to set this value to false(which i thought it should do automatically) instead of trying to set it to null and throwing this exception? I have also tried adding annotation to automatically set the value to false but this does not work either @Column(nullable = false, columnDefinition = "bit default 0") private boolean atShop;
