[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: fetchtype.LAZY results in JSF validation error

Thx for your suggestions. Encouraged by your suggestion 3 I have debugged my overridden equals method once again (ignoring the tracing output). What I found out: other.name is null where it shouldn't be null. Changing this line to other.getName() fixed the problem! | public boolean equals(Object obj) { | if (this == obj) | return true; | if (obj == null) | return false; | if (!(obj instanceof OrgUnit)) | return false; | final OrgUnit other = (OrgUnit) obj; | if (name == null) { | if (other.name != null) | return false; | } else if (!name.equals(other.name)) | return false; | return true; | } | "petemuir" wrote : | 1) Association fetching in Hibernate is lazy by default AFAIK | Are you sure? This would make things strange anymore. But now I know that this is an Hibernate issue - not a Seam issue. Thanks!
