Sanne Grinovero ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) *updated* an issue Hibernate ORM ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiOWNhZmQyNWIy... ) / Bug ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16669?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiOWNhZm... ) HHH-16669 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16669?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiOWNhZm... ) Batch loading prevents throwing ObjectNotFoundException on initialization of non-existent enhanced entity ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16669?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiOWNhZm... ) Change By: Sanne Grinovero ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=557058%... ) A load via ‘ {{ getReference ' }} on a non-existent object should eventually lead to an {{ObjectNotFoundException}} when such object’s initializer is triggered. This isn’t currently happening in version {{ 6.2.3.Final }} when batch loading is enabled: the read properties are reported as “ " null ” " and no exception is being thrown.
