[hibernate-users] Problem persisting a set of object

Sun Nov 16 01:03:27 EST 2008

I have two questions:

1) I thought the entity at the source end of a OneToMany defined by
annotations didn't care about it's collection and would ignore updates to
the collection? (this is the first problem, I got around it by settings
cascade = CascadeType.ALL because if it does persist it's list that's not a
bad thing, it's just not what I was expecting)

2) After doing that, I get the following error.  As far as I can tell all my
Entities have generated ids, so I don't really undefrstand how I could have
an object with a null id other than the fact that it's null because it has
yet to be populated with a generated id.

00:41:15:ERROR org.hibernate.AssertionFailure (AssertionFailure.java:22) -
an assertion failure occured (this may indicate a bug in Hibernate, but is
more likely due to unsafe use of the session)
