Null pointer exception on org.hibernate.type.AbstractType.getHashCode(AbstractType.java:112) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3441 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3441 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Bug Components: core Affects Versions: 3.2.5 Environment: Hibernate 3.25., Oracle 10g, Spring 2.5.5 Reporter: DEROUET Priority: Blocker The issue concerns a problem already signaled in different forums, and I decided to report it in JIRA, because many people have this same problem and after days and days of work around, the solutions possibles are heavy or dangerous for a database integrity (for example remove a non-nullability constraint...). Here it is the problem a previous forum participant had perfectly summarized (see http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2326): A null pointer exception is thrown when: a) we have a composite key with one of the attributes of the key being an FK to another persistent class. b) The other persistent class has an ID field whose value is being generated. c) The instance of the other persistent class is transient (does not yet have an ID) We do not get the null pointer if we explicitly set the ID (generator=assigned) Here it is the failure trace: --> --> java.lang.NullPointerException at org.hibernate.type.AbstractType.getHashCode(AbstractType.java:112) at org.hibernate.type.AbstractType.getHashCode(AbstractType.java:120) at org.hibernate.type.EntityType.getHashCode(EntityType.java:279) at org.hibernate.type.ComponentType.getHashCode(ComponentType.java:189) at org.hibernate.engine.EntityKey.generateHashCode(EntityKey.java:104) at org.hibernate.engine.EntityKey.<init>(EntityKey.java:48) at org.hibernate.engine.StatefulPersistenceContext.getDatabaseSnapshot(StatefulPersistenceContext.java:240) at org.hibernate.engine.ForeignKeys.isTransient(ForeignKeys.java:189) at org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractSaveEventListener.getEntityState(AbstractSaveEventListener.java:512) at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultSaveOrUpdateEventListener.performSaveOrUpdate(DefaultSaveOrUpdateEventListener.java:80) at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultSaveOrUpdateEventListener.onSaveOrUpdate(DefaultSaveOrUpdateEventListener.java:70) at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.fireSaveOrUpdate(SessionImpl.java:507) at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.saveOrUpdate(SessionImpl.java:499) at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.saveOrUpdate(SessionImpl.java:495) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate$16.doInHibernate(HibernateTemplate.java:747) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate.doExecute(HibernateTemplate.java:419) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate.executeWithNativeSession(HibernateTemplate.java:374) at org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate.saveOrUpdate(HibernateTemplate.java:744) at eu.cec.argus.bcm.dao.businessContinuityEvent.BusinessContinuityEventDAOImpl.createBCEvent(BusinessContinuityEventDAOImpl.java:39) at eu.cec.argus.bcm.dao.businessContinuityEvent.BusinessContinuityEventDAOTest.testSaveBcEventAndRelatedMessagesAndMeetings(BusinessContinuityEventDAOTest.java:127) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:585) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringTestMethod.invoke(SpringTestMethod.java:198) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringMethodRoadie.runTestMethod(SpringMethodRoadie.java:274) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringMethodRoadie$2.run(SpringMethodRoadie.java:207) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringMethodRoadie.runBeforesThenTestThenAfters(SpringMethodRoadie.java:254) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringMethodRoadie.runWithRepetitions(SpringMethodRoadie.java:234) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringMethodRoadie.runTest(SpringMethodRoadie.java:204) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringMethodRoadie.run(SpringMethodRoadie.java:146) at org.springframework.test.context.junit4.SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.invokeTestMethod(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.java:151) at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit4ClassRunner.runMethods(JUnit4ClassRunner.java:51) at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit4ClassRunner$1.run(JUnit4ClassRunner.java:44) at org.junit.internal.runners.ClassRoadie.runUnprotected(ClassRoadie.java:26) at org.junit.internal.runners.ClassRoadie.runProtected(ClassRoadie.java:36) at org.junit.internal.runners.JUnit4ClassRunner.run(JUnit4ClassRunner.java:42) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit4.runner.JUnit4TestReference.run(JUnit4TestReference.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.TestExecution.run(TestExecution.java:38) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:460) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTestRunner.java:673) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunner.java:386) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRunner.java:196) Here they are my classes: @Entity @Table(name = "BCM_BC_EVENT") @IdClass(BusinessContinuityEvent.BusinessContinuityEventId.class) @SequenceGenerator(name = "Generator.BusinessContinuityEvent", sequenceName = "SEQ_BCM_BC_EVENT") public class BusinessContinuityEvent implements Serializable { @Embeddable public static class BusinessContinuityEventId implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 3513299649110908676L;
