Jesse McCormick ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYmJmMTU1NmRm... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14005?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYmJmMT... ) HHH-14005 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14005?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYmJmMT... ) Saving envers audit entry causing Lazy Initialization exception for unitialized Lazy ManyToOne relationship ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-14005?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiYmJmMT... ) Change By: Jesse McCormick ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) Updating a legacy Hibernate 4 to latest 5.4.15 version resulted in an odd exception when saving the audit record for a record. Turning up the debugging reveals that the actual save of the record appears to proceed correctly, and then when envers begins to save it's audit entry, the Lazy initialization exception occurs. Save RelatedToTaskEntity cascades to save TaskEntity, which then moves onto the Owner entity where the exception occurs. I looked at [ HHH-13191 ] but toggling the proxy compliance mode didn't seem to effect it. Hibernate 5.4.1 and 5.4.10 work, it appears to have broken in 5.4.11. Looking through the release notes, maybe [ HHH-13760 ] is related?
