hibernate mapped entity - issue with access=field

Hi,

I am trying to integrate an entity with hibernate mapping into a grails application. If there is a field mapped with access=field without corresponding getter / setter methods I get the following exception while trying to save the entity. This used to work in grails 1.1.

Invalid property 'title' of bean class [com.tenxperts.Book]: Bean property 'title' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?

org.springframework.beans.NotReadablePropertyException: Invalid property 'title' of bean class [com.tenxperts.Book]: Bean property 'title' is not readable or has an invalid getter method: Does the return type of the getter match the parameter type of the setter?
at com.tenxperts.BookTests.testSaveBook(BookTests.groovy:15)
at junit.framework.Test$run.call(Unknown Source)

The following is the class
package com.tenxperts;
public class Book {
private Long id;
private String title;

public Long getId()

public void setId(Long id)

}

& hibernate mapping

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="com.tenxperts.Book"
table="BOOK"
discriminator-value="P">
<id name="id" column="ID"><generator class="native" /></id>
<property name="title" column="TITLE" access="field"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>

The mapping cannot be changed - I am getting this error while using the jbpm plugin - the jbpm hibernate mapping has many instance of the above problem. I have attached a very simple test case that reproduces this issue.

Regards,
Kamal
