[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2763) Allow collection initialization during flush

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2763?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=42319#action_42319 ] 

j nadler commented on HHH-2763:
-------------------------------

Agreed Stevo - it's past time this gets resolved.  Or they could just close the Jira if they have no intention of ever resolving.   It certainly sounds that way from some of the commments made by Hibernate team members.

enerally the number of votes, watchers, comments, and workarounds on an issue like this should be a red flag to the team that something is really wrong.  If all these people are simply confused about how to use Hibernate, why is that?   Perhaps there's a damn good reason we're all trying to do this...

> [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 ...
