 Post subject: cache problem

Hi,
I have a Category class that has a circular reference to itselft. I am using the second-level ehcache cache on this class. The problem is: when I load a Category instance by id, a strange NullPointerException happens in Category.hashCode() when the Category 'name' attribute is accessed in the second line of the Category.hashCode() method. This exception should not happen because name can't be null. This problem only happens when cache is enabled, Category._parent!=null and the Category instance is stored in the cache.
My guess is that hibernate is adding a Category instance to a Set before setting the Category name. Below are the exception stack trace, Category class, Category hibernate mapping and the ehcache configuration file. Please, what do I have to do to solve this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Hibernate version: 2.1.6

Name and version of the database you are using:postgresql 7.2

Submit this to JIRA, and I'll see if it can be fixed, I'm not sure if its possible.

I see that this was submitted to JIRA and would be difficult to fix. I am having the exact same problem as the original poster. Interestingly, the Category class is almost the same as the Category example used throughout Hibernate in Action.

Can anyone suggest a workaround? (I have a layered app using session bean facade). Thanks

Here's the JIRA bug
