> getOldState() on PreUpdateEvent (from a PreUpdateEventListener) can be null, if dealing with a persistent object across sessions.
> I think this behavior changed in rc2, but I'm not sure.
> I am not sure if this is a bug. You possibly may want to add some javadoc, that says the getOldState() is not always reliable. (Javadocs are not pretty empty in that event package ;)
> The attached unit test shows the failure.
> The case described in the unit test is one that happens in web applications where is a Hibernate session is created to render a page, and then is closed. But if a persistent object lives in the Http session, and it lives outside of a hibernate session.
> Thanks, if you have any questions about the unit test email gabrielh at gmail.com.
