In Hibernate when querying by natural id with query cache we receive a NullPointerException

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • In our Parent object , we have collection called members, while adding a parent object, we have not faced any issue. While fetching the object and during collection intialiazation, we are getting following exception.

    private Object getObject( String key ) {
              Session session = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
              session.beginTransaction();
              Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria( test.Parent.class );
              criteria.add( Restrictions.naturalId().set( "name", key ) );// No I18N
              criteria.setCacheable( true );
              Object obj = criteria.uniqueResult();
              Parent p=(Parent)obj;
              p.getMembers().size();
              session.getTransaction().commit();
              return obj;
    }
