Hibernate version:
Hibernate 3.2.1


Name and version of the database you are using:
Oracle 10g

I perform the following operations:

Service method callA()
1) load a object using session -
User user1 = session.get(User.class, id);

2) Modify some values
user1.setLastName("Rxxxxx");
session.update(user1);

Service method callB()
1) Retrive users
Criteria criteria =session.createCriteria(User.class);
//set the criteria
List<User> userList = criteria.list();

The userList above contains modified user in callA() - i.e user1. Going through "userList" using debugger I find that all instances in the list are initialized properly except modified user in callA(). The id field of user1 is initialized correctly but fields like firstName, lastName etc are null.

As a result when I display the list of users in the JSP page, some attributes of user1 are displayed as null. When I request for user listing (i.e service callB() only) they all get displayed correctly.

What's going on ?

I'm using Spring transaction mgmt/ OpenSessionViewFilter and lazy loading. Service callA() and callB() are part of the same request.

Can someone please help. This is urgent.

read the reference

The hibernate reference doc is huge. If you think I'm missing something can you please point me to the correct reference.

Thanks.
