On a @ManyToOne association if you specify a @JoinColumn with a referencedColumnName that is part of a secondary table, Hibernate is not able to find this column and quits with an error on startup.

Expected behaviour: Even though the references column in on another table this should be possible without any further annotations. Hibernate know that the references column is in another table.

A JPAUnitTestCase is attached.

Example:

The error is:

org.hibernate.MappingException: Unable to find column with logical name: uuid in org.hibernate.mapping.Table(being) and its related supertables and secondary tables
