--------------------------------

Thanks for the really good work ! I think it's now on the hibernate folk doing the next step to fix this problem....

> [Summarized]
> It seems, that touching a lazy (Persistent-)Collection of at least a m:n relation inside a Hibernate event-listener always raises this error:
> org.hibernate.AssertionFailure: collection [n-side] was not processed by flush()
> [Explanation]
> I have two entities A. and B. Both having a m:n relation between each other. Furthermore there is an PostUpdateListener, which iterates onUpdate of entitiy through all properties of updated entity.
> [Testcase]
> Both entities are linked with eachother (m:n). If i  now do a simple update of a property of entity A --> MyPostUpdateListener will be called, which iterates through every property of the updated entity. In case of this property was a collection (= lazy PersistentCollection of m:n relation), hibernate initializes the collection for further work. I can now run through all objects of the collection, but after all work is done in listener, I get the following exception from postFlush:
> Caused by: org.hibernate.AssertionFailure: collection [com.qualitype.testcase.server.ejb.entity.EntityB.entitiesOfA] was not processed by flush()
> at org.hibernate.engine.CollectionEntry.postFlush(CollectionEntry.java:205)
> at org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener.postFlush(AbstractFlushingEventListener.java:333)
> at org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEventListener.onFlush(DefaultFlushEventListener.java:28)
> at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.flush(SessionImpl.java:1000)
> at org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.managedFlush(SessionImpl.java:338)
> at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl$1.beforeCompletion(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:515)
> ... 29 more
> Attention: EntityB.entitiesOfA is the other-side  collection of the m:n relation of the updated EntityA.
> We are using hibernate-event listener system for auditing-purposes, so you should understand that touching every (element in the) collection is necessary for audit-purposes.
> Seems for me like a serious bug. Need this fixed asap ...
