Person per = new Person("Kamil", "Jakis", new City("SomeCity"));
session.save(per);

I don't know why, Hibernate can not find the primary key of the City which was inserted in the same session with Person. I'm using Oracle 10g.

Hibernate: select diagno.hibernate_sequence.nextval from dual
Hibernate: select diagno.hibernate_sequence.nextval from dual
Hibernate: insert into diagno.City (name, id) values (?, ?)
Hibernate: insert into diagno.Person (name, surname, city_id, id) values (?, ?, ?, ?)

It appears as simple as the error. You have a constraint that says an entry can't go in unless it's associated through it's primary key with another table. Seems like you must have something null going in as the reference key.

Unfortunatly, there is no null...
If I get already existing city object, it works fine:

City c = new CityDAOImpl().getCity(new Long(14));
Person per = new Person("Somename", "somesurname", c);
session.save(per);

but when the city object is going to be created w person in the same session it doesn't work

Person per = new Person("Kamil", "Jakis", new City("SomeCity"));  
session.save(per);

Try another theme or go for latest version. Your key might not be working in this & will execute in next one.
