Using custom PropertyAccessor without specifying "type" may result in unexpected exception.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-1878
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1878
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 3.1.2    
    Reporter: J.C. van Vorst
    Priority: Minor


For a java class using member variable prefixes:

This will work:
    <id name="_id" access="field">

This will not:
    <id name="id" access="my.UnderscoreFieldAccessor">

... and results in a misleading "org.hibernate.PropertyNotFoundException: field not found: id".   This is due to the configuration binding process assuming the property type should be accessible via reflection (i.e., tries to reflect on field "id" which does not exist).

After tracing the cause, it's reasonable that "type" must to be specified absent other means of determining the property class, but the documentation doesn't mention it, and the condition checking to determine the appropriate exception is insufficient.
