Hi,

We have bidirectional relationship so we have created one-to-many in the parent object, and many-to-one in child object?

We get the following error:

Caused by: net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: Found shared references to a collection

Parent Mapping:
<set inverse="true" name="hierarchies" lazy="true" table="INT_MESSAGE_DEFINITION_HIER" cascade="all" sort="unsorted" batch-size="1" outer-join="auto">
<key column="PARENT_MD_ID" />
<one-to-many class="admin.messagedefinition.bo.impl.HierarchyDefinitionImpl" />
</set>

ChildMapping
<many-to-one name="parentMessageDefinition" class="admin.messagedefinition.bo.impl.MessageDefinitionImpl" column="PARENT_MD_ID" not-null="true" cascade="all" unique="false" outer-join="auto" update="true" insert="true" />

Could somebody suggest what could be wrong here?

thanks
