[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Created: (HHH-2904) Property-ref Child association has a null session on fetch

Property-ref Child association has a null session on fetch ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2904 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2904 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 3.1.3 Environment: Hibernate Version: 3.1.3 Database: Oracle 10g, Dialect: Oracle9Dialect Reporter: kumar_j2ee Priority: Blocker Database Type: Legacy database with no single primary key foreign-key relationship. Also has all sorts of funky natural-business-keys, and we are trying our best to bend hibernate to retrofit for this database. Very well given the back ground, here is what I have... ObjectA has many ObjectB ObjectB has many ObjectC. ObjectA has a Composite-id combining 4 keys on the table. ObjectB has a Composite-id combining all parents keys plus additional 2 keys. ObjectC has a Composite-id combining subset of parents keys and additional 2 more keys. Since the parents keys donot flow to the children as Foreign-key am forced to use a property-ref. So I ended up declaring a property-ref on ObjectB that matches the ObjectC unique key and mapped the ObjectC as a bag (one-to-many) on ObjectB. Scenario; I have to access ObjectA then get ObjectB from ObjectA and get ObjectC from ObjectB. When I try fetching the association I get an error indicating the session is null with LazyInitializationException. I have a open session, its got nothing to do with hibernate transaction manager, am running my junits. The same works when the association in only one level deep for example I load ObjectB from database directly and then load ObjectC from ObjectB. Session is open all the time. I tried using Bag Sql Loader using Query-ref that brought in additional issues indicating "Not all parameters on the named query is set" Digging through the hibernate code I realized its treating the composite id as one named attribute [i] org.hibernate.impl.AbstractQueryImpl.java protected void verifyParameters(boolean reserveFirstParameter) throws HibernateException { if ( parameterMetadata.getNamedParameterNames().size() != namedParameters.size() + namedParameterLists.size() ) { Set missingParams = new HashSet( parameterMetadata.getNamedParameterNames() ); missingParams.removeAll( namedParameterLists.keySet() ); missingParams.removeAll( namedParameters.keySet() ); throw new QueryException( "Not all named parameters have been set: " + missingParams, getQueryString() ); } [/i] getNamedParameterNames().size is returning back as 6 where as namedParameters.size() returns back as 1. If I try removing all the named parameters totally and tried loading the association... I started getting ... [i] public Query setParameter(int position, Object val, Type type) { if ( parameterMetadata.getOrdinalParameterCount() == 0 ) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("No positional parameters in query: " + getQueryString() ); } [/i] I tried multiple options one even with filter-def/ filter and realized Filter is not working for bags. Can somebody help me understand if am doing something stupid. Or if this is a limitation and if there is any acceptable workaround.[color=blue][/color] -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
