Many to one object is null???

[Gavin Tranter]

Hi all,
Having a major (for me) hibernate issue. I think I have final got my head around it enough to use it, and then it goes and does soething I cant figure out.

I have the following mapping:

    
   <class name="User" table="cmt_006_user">
      <id name="OID" column="OID" unsaved-value="null">
         <generator class="native"> 
         </generator>
      </id>      
      <version name="VID" column="VID" unsaved-value="negative" type="long"/>   
      <property name="updated" type="timestamp" column="Updated"></property>
      <property name="name" column="Name"></property>
      <property name="password" column="Password"></property>
      <property name="userRoleOID" column="UserRoleOID"></property>
      <property name="deleted" column="Deleted"/>
      <many-to-one name="userRole" class="com.orange.componentcatalogue.dm.UserRole" column="UserRoleOID" insert="false" update="false"/>
   </class>

In my User class i have a UserRole object. When I do a find on the User, I am expecting hibernate to have populated the UserRole object (preferable with the correct user role) but it dosnt it, its null.

So, what am I doing wrong, why isint the parent object pulled in as I would expect. It seems to find the User object without me having to have "loaded" the user table.

Bit confused here.

Thanks

Hibernate seems to load child (collections) into parent objects without any issue.....

Hi,
Could the problem I am have be down to not having a many to one mapping in the parent tables mapping?

Thanks
