I occasionally see the following stack trace in my log files:

at mil.dfas.cm.bo.org.User.getTheme(User.java:315)
The gist of the getTheme function is that it looks at a user's organization and recurses up the organization tree until it finds an org with a theme. The criteria is:
Code:
session.createCriteria( Organization.class )
.add( Expression.sql(
"{alias}.org_id in " +
"( select org_id " +
" from org " +
" start with org_id=? " +
" connect by prior parent_org_id = org_id )",
this.getOrganization( ).getOrganizationId( ),
Hibernate.LONG ) )
.list( );
I looked at SessionImpl.doLoad and the NPE is thrown on the last line of this block:
Code:
Object old = getEntity(key);
if (old!=null) { //if this object was already loaded
EntityEntry oldEntry = getEntry(old);
Status status = oldEntry.status; // NPE
oldEntry is null, which indicates that there is an old Entity, but no corresponding EntityEntry. What could cause that?
Some additional background: the user object is loaded on startup, detached from the Hibernate session, and stuck into the user session for the life of the user session (until the user logs out). The same user object could, potentially, be loaded in other parts of the application by other sessions, by virtue of its association to other objects (someObject.createdByUser, for example). Could that be related?
Any pointers/hints are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
