Hi Guys,

I have Worker object which has child object State. State is a reference table (hence mutable="false" in the mapping file).

Now when I want to create Worker, I am doing something like this

Worker worker = new Worker()

State state = new State();
state.setId(1);

worker.setState(state );

and then

das.saveOrUpdate(worker);

But when I print any value of State other than Id, I am getting null.

e.g. worker.getState().getAbbr() ---> this gives null

Does anyone know the reason. Am I wrong somewhere.

I know that I can always do findBy on State first and then set it. But I want to avoid extra findBys.

Can someone let me what should I do to fix this.

Can any one reply to this.
