Christoph Watzl ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGM3MTZiZjc1... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16007?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGM3MT... ) HHH-16007 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16007?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGM3MT... ) PropertyAccessException when deleting enties with Embeddables with child collections ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16007?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiZGM3MT... ) Change By: Christoph Watzl ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) Environment: hibernate-core >= 6.0.0.Final, Temurin OpenJDK 17 , which breaks one of our tests. When using an `@Embedded` value object that has a collection with orphan removal, trying to delete the root entity throws a `PropertyAccessException`. The same scenario used to work without issue in Hibernate 5. I have prepared a minimal example project to reproduce which I will provide shortly. ```java @Entity public class Parent { @Id private final String id; @Embedded private final Child child; // ... ctors & accessors ... } @Embeddable public class Child { @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true) private final List<Grandchild> grandchildren = new ArrayList<>(); // ... ctors & accessors ... } @Entity public class Grandchild { @Id private final String id; // .. ctors & accessors ... } // ... test case var parent = new Parent("123", new Child(List.of(new Grandchild("xyz")))); entityManager.persist(parent); entityManager.flush(); entityManager.clear(); entityManager.remove(entityManager.getReference(Parent.class, "123")); entityManager.flush(); // throws PersistenceException ``` This will throw: ``` jakarta.persistence.PersistenceException: Converting `org.hibernate.property.access.spi.PropertyAccessException` to JPA `PersistenceException` : Error
