NullPointerException if a <column> element is used without "not-null" attribute in HBM XML ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-6550 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6550 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: metamodel Reporter: Gail Badner Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 4.0.0.next To reproduce, add a column element to the "name" property in: hibernate-core/src/test/java/org/hibernate/metamodel/binding/SimpleEntity.hbm.xml and run org.hibernate.metamodel.binding.BasicHbmBindingTests . For example: <property name="name"> <column name="name"/> </property> IIRC, after adding "not-null" attribute, the test will still fail with an NPE due to a different attribute that has no default. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
