I have a component object that I am using in a persitable object. When I do a get on my object and retrieve that component, it has all of its properties. When I get the component object through its containing object via another object associated with its object, one of the properties in the component is null. Any ideas?

object a has component object (all properties are loaded)

object b has an object a (object a's component object has a null property which should not be null)

object a and object b are backed by the same row in the database
object a and object b have the same primary key

Why don't you post your cfg/mapping file, class defs and debug output?
