I have a very strange error here.
I have some composite objects. I have an Employee class which contains a department class. The department has id and name.
When I try to do this query :
Code:
from BenefitPayment b where b.employee.department.id = 4
O get this error :
Code:
java.lang.NullPointerException

However if I change the id to 3 and execute the same query its fine. No Exception
Departments exist in the DBN for both id 3 + 4 . Yet the null pointer exception only happens with 4.
I am using hibernate hibernate-distribution-3.5.0.Beta-1 With MySQL version: 5.1.54-1ubuntu4
Any ideas please ?This is driving me crazy................
