Hi I have class mapped this way
<class name="Message" table="MESSAGE" mutable="false" batch-size="30" lazy="false" > <cache usage="read-only"/> <id name="id" column="MESSAGE_ID" type="int"> <generator class="assigned"/> </id> <property name="key" column="MESSAGE_KEY" type="string" length="500"/> <map name="submessages" table="V_SUB_SERVICE_MESSAGE" batch-size="10" lazy="false" > <key column="Message_ID" /> <map-key column="SUB_SERVICE_TAG" type="string"/> <element type="string" column="Message_Value" /> </map> </class> One of the instances of Message has a collection of submessages with only one entry, wich has a null on the Message_Value column. Using 3.0.5, I can efectively retrieve that instance with his one element map. When I ask for that only key I get the expected null value. But using 3.1 rc2 that map is empty. The null valued key is no longer loaded. Is this a known issue? If it's not I'll try to give an example to reproduce it.
