Hello All ,


I am new to Hibernate so this might sound like a stupid question but here is goes.
I have 2 tables table A and B. A is the parent to B. A has field called
b_id. which is the Key to my B table. My problem is when I query table A and table
B does not have a record entered into yet I get a null pointer exception. But If table
B does a record that table A can point to all is well. Is there any way around this problem.

Thanks

If A is parent of B, then do you really need a bId column in A. aId column in B is what you will need to make the reference.

My bad I do have a Link from B to A. But In my A config I have a one to many that
points to B. If B is NULL I get a java null pointer exception. If there is record in table
B every thing works great. Where should I check for null record in My Bean or DAO or ?

Thanks

Please post the config files for A and B as well as the DAO/relevant java codes, and also point out where are you getting the NPE.

Thanks
