> I have a class Company with a one-to-many relationship to other Companies (parentCompany <- subCompanies). I’m able to set a Company’s parent when creating one, but upon update I’m getting a NullPointerException in DefaultQuotingStrategy.quotedName because it’s been sent a null attribute. Company extends the abstract class Entity; on the DB side Entity and Company have a one-to-one relationship, and Entity has a parentEntity reference (which is modeled as parentCompany). The obj-relationship parentCompany is set up with the target Company and path parentEntity.
> The null attribute is being added in org.apache.cayenne.access.DataDomainUpdateBucket.updatedAttributes. The method is called first with the dbEntity Entity and the an updatedSnapshot containing parentEntity, which is what I would expect. However, after this updatedAttributes is called with Company and an updatedSnapshot containing parentEntity, so the following line
> attributes.add(entityAttributes.get(name))
> will return a null attribute when trying to get the name “parentEntity” off Company’s attributes; that attribute only exists on Entity. I’d appreciate any help on preventing it from trying to add invalid attributes.
> Here’s the stack trace:
