[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-6960) NullPointerException in PreCollectionRemove Listener

Ho Ming Shun commented on HHH-6960:
-----------------------------------

I have the same problem in my application. We managed to narrow it down to this this bug happening when both these conditions are met:

1) A @ManyToMany PersistentSet was replaced with a HashSet (doesn't matter if the HashSet contains the same entities as the original PersistentSet).
2) A Criteria or HQL Query was executed.

For now the workaround is to do session.setFlushMode(FlushMode.ALWAYS); whenever we obtain a hibernate Session.

> I'm getting a NullPointerException on line 47 of EnversPreCollectionRemoveEventListenerImpl very consistently. I wasn't sure if it was due to lazy collections or not, but it seems that it fails if they're eagerly fetched or lazily fetched. I'm guessing it has something to do with getLoadedPersister() returning a null value since the comments for it say "This is only available late during the flush cycle". The stack trace is
