How to replace PropertyAccessor in Hibernate 5?

I am migrating application from Hibernate 4 to Hibernate 5. We have used:

import org.hibernate.property.PropertyAccessor;
import org.hibernate.property.Setter;

and then in code we were calling:

propertyAccessor.getSetter(target, fieldName).set(currentTarget, value, factory);
propertyAccessor.getGetter(target, fieldName).get(currentTarget);

I found Are PropertyAccessor and PropertyAccessorFactory removed or deprecated? and it says that two clases should be replaced by:

import org.hibernate.property.access.spi.PropertyAccessStrategy;
import org.hibernate.property.access.spi.Setter;

That's fine but PropertyAccessStrategy doesn't have any methods which are similar to .getSetter() and .getGetter() from old packages.

How it should be replaced?

Solution

The getGetter() and getSetter() methods are part of org.hibernate.property.access.spi.PropertyAccess interface in Hibernate 5.

For Example: Assume that you have an Entity named Person given below:

@Table
@Entity
public class Person {

   @Id   
   private int id;    

   private String fullName;
    
   // constructor and getters and setters already defined....

}

Now, let's say if you want to access the fullName property from the entity Person and the getter/setter associated with that property.

Example on how to do it.

import org.hibernate.property.access.internal.PropertyAccessStrategyFieldImpl;
import org.hibernate.property.access.spi.Getter;
import org.hibernate.property.access.spi.Setter;
import org.hibernate.property.access.spi.PropertyAccess;
import org.hibernate.property.access.spi.PropertyAccessStrategy;

.......
.........

PropertyAccessStrategyFieldImpl propertyAccessStrategy = PropertyAccessStrategyFieldImpl.INSTANCE;
PropertyAccess fullNamePropertyAccess = propertyAccessStrategy.buildPropertyAccess(Person.class, "fullName");
Getter fullNameGetter = fullNamePropertyAccess.getGetter();
Setter fullNameSetter = fullNamePropertyAccess.getSetter();
