Strange PropertyValueException ?????

Hi, all
I get this error and can't undestand why.
Does it mena that property "organization" is null or transient ?

Code:

net.sf.hibernate.PropertyValueException: not-null property references a null or transient value: net.sf.hibernate.persister.EntityPersister.organization

Mapping code:

Code:

<hibernate-mapping>
    <class
        name="com.clearview.feedback.db.report.Report"
        table="report"
        dynamic-update="true"
        dynamic-insert="false"
        mutable="true"
    > .....
        <many-to-one
            name="organization"
            class="com.clearview.feedback.db.Organization"
            cascade="save-update"
            outer-join="auto"
            update="true"
            insert="true"
            column="org_id"
            unique="false"
        />

And there's my code:

Code:

session.refresh(visit.getOrganization());
Report report = new Report(owner, description, status,
report.setMessage(visit.getMessage());
report.setReferenceId(WebUtils.getInstance().generateLogin());
session.beginTransaction();
session.save(report);
session.commit();

And when i try to commit transaction i get such exception. In debug i see that "organization" property in report is not null. Does anyone know what's wrong with my code? I use 2.1 hibernate.

Thank's

It says "null or transient". This means that the object referred to by the associations named "organization" is not yet persistent.

Note that the "net.sf.hibernate.persister.EntityPersister." bit is due to a bug in the exception message in 2.1rc1. It should be the correct classname.

I found that null property has benn in deeper property's class not in Report class. But exception doesn't tell right class name :(

If you replace net.sf.hibernate.persister.EntityPersister by com.clearview.feedback.db.report.Report as Gavin said, you have an explicit error

Code:

not-null property references a null or transient value: com.clearview.feedback.db.report.Report.organization 

Can you give a simple testcase reproducing what you said :

null value in an other part of the Report generate 'com.clearview.feedback.db.report.Report.organization' PropertyValueException.

Null property was in Report.getUser().getOrganization().
I fixed it and now everything is OK.

Ok so net.sf.hibernate.persister.EntityPersister.organisation was in reality com....User.organisation. This display bug will be corrected in the next hibernate version
