I have a situation where I'm loading a User object into the session in a filter. Almost all of my other domain objects are reachable from the User.

Trying to avoid problems when updating any object, I do a load() before changing any properties.

However, I often get a NonUniqueObjectException.

What is the usual culprit for this?

My understanding is that (A.getB() == Session.load(B))?

Thanks,

Not always the case if you're using proxy.
Be more specific

I'm not sure if I'm using proxies.

The issue is simple that I'm raising a NonUniqueObjectException directly after doing a Session.load(). This doesn't make sense to me. Any ideas?

Thanks,

A.
