[hibernate-dev] Embedded value not null when it includes an @ElementCollection

[Davide D'Alto]

Hi,
I've created a test for OGM where we store an @Embeddable containing a list
annotated with @ElementCollection [1]:

This is the embedded:

@Embeddable
public class PhoneNumber {

    private String main;

    @ElementCollection
    private List<String> alternatives;

...

}

In the test [2] I first save an entity with the embedded attribute set to
null and then I call a session.get(...) to obtain it. The embedded
attribute is not null as I was expecting.

The same this happend when I've tried it on ORM, is this the expected
behaviour?

Thanks,
Davide
