Hi Marco,

in fact you declared all properties non-nullable indeed!
"name" you declared non-nullable explicitly with specifying not-null="true"
"parent" is also declared non-nullable because its the default when using hbm-files.

Your scenario will work if you declare:

 
 <column name="parent" not-null="false"/>
