Hi I read on another forum that a NullPointerException occurs when a property of a composite ID (@EmbededId or @IdClass) is used for ordering.

In my case too, this @OrderBy annotation causes the exception: @OrderBy("drel"). "Drel" is a field of a composite ID. How can I do to order the list by drel?


@OneToMany(mappedBy = "pid", fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
@Sort(type = SortType.NATURAL)
@OrderBy("drel")
public List<Adxcompli> getComplis() {
return complis;
}
public void setComplis(List<Adxcompli> ls) {
complis = ls;
}


Thanks...
