I use the following mapping that contains an entity that has a list valued property "attrStrList":

<class entity-name="t_d_TestAttrTypes"
table="F5_T_D_TESTATTRTYPES"
lazy="true">
<id name="_id" column="ID" type="long">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<list name="attrStrList"
table="F5_T_D_TESTATTRTYPES_ATT_STRLIST"
cascade="all">
<key column="OWNER_KEY"/>
<list-index column="IDX"/>
<element type="string">
<column name="VAL" sql-type="VARCHAR(32672)"/>
</element>
</list>
... other properties omitted ...
</class>

Hibernate creates the corresponding tables:

create table F5_T_D_TESTATTRTYPES (
ID bigint generated by default as identity,
... other columns omitted ...
primary key (ID)
)

create table F5_T_D_TESTATTRTYPES_ATT_STRLIST (
OWNER_KEY bigint not null,
VAL VARCHAR(32672),
IDX integer not null,
primary key (OWNER_KEY, IDX)
)

alter table F5_T_D_TESTATTRTYPES_ATT_STRLIST
add constraint FK_473oafth9e2oiuxjssina3ld4
foreign key (OWNER_KEY)
references F5_T_D_TESTATTRTYPES

However, when an entity of type "t_d_TestAttrTypes" no entries are inserted into the collection table F5_T_D_TESTATTRTYPES_ATT_STRLIST.

I tried to debug the situation and found the following. When the save operation is called then in the class StatefullPersistenceContext an entry is added to the "collectionEntries" member. I guess that the corresponding operation (that persists the collection) should be executed after the collection owner is persisted. Yet this does not happen!

Has anyone a cluet why the stored collectionEntries member is not considered?
