Hi Mark, I'm not sure exactly what you're doing to cause the error, a unit test would definitely help there.
The openjpa.DetachState property is a way to specify which fields will be present when an entity is detached. Using a different DetachState value may result in different results depending on your fetch-group and usage pattern. In either case I don't think a field would be reset to null at detach time though. Maybe I've misunderstood your scenario though. -mike On Fri, Nov 26, 2010 at 11:51 AM, Mark Struberg <strub...@yahoo.de> wrote: > a side note: it works if I use > <property name="openjpa.DetachState" value="fetch-groups"/> > > But it looks most likely as a bug to me because I don't serialize the > detached entity, nor do I invoke native queries to get it, etc - just plain > JPA!
