Nathan Xu ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *commented* on HHH-14128 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14128?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYzQzZT... ) Re: NullPointerException when building sessionFactory ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14128?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYzQzZT... ) You can set a breakpoint at AbstractLoadPlanBuildingAssociationVisitationStrategy Line #669 to narrow down the entity and the field. Maybe the one-to-many collection involve some class which is not specified as entity. Definitively a coding imperfection for the javadoc of {{org.hibernate.loader.plan.spi.FetchSource#resolveEntityReference()}}has said null value could be returned. Your persistence.xml seems not very helpful to narrow down the root cause, though, at least for someone who is not using JBoss product.
