NullPointerException, because of relationship cycles before deleting objects
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAY-714
URL: http://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-714
Project: Cayenne
Type: Bug
Components: Cayenne Core Library
Versions: 1.2 [STABLE]
Environment: cayenne-1.2.1, derby
Reporter: Peter Karich
The following code:
-------------------------------------------------
ArrayList temporaryObjects = new ArrayList();
DataContext context = DataContext.createDataContext();
Room r = (Room) context.createAndRegisterNewObject(Room.class);
r.setName("testRoom");
temporaryObjects.add(r);
TimeInterval ti = (TimeInterval)context.createAndRegisterNewObject(TimeInterval.class);
temporaryObjects.add(ti);
ti.setToOneTarget("room", r, false);
context.deleteObjects(temporaryObjects);
temporaryObjects.clear();
context.commitChanges();
-------------------------------------------------
will throw a NPE at 'context.deleteObjects':
-------------------------------------------------
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException

Here the mapping:
-------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data-map project-version="1.1">
<property name="defaultPackage" value="caybug"/>
<db-entity name="ROOM">
<db-attribute name="NAME" type="VARCHAR" length="24"/>

</db-relationship>
<db-relationship name="ROOM" source="TIME_INTERVAL" target="ROOM" toMany="false">
<db-attribute-pair source="ROOM_FK" target="R_ID"/>
</db-relationship>
<obj-relationship name="timeIntervals" source="Room" target="TimeInterval" deleteRule="Nullify" db-relationship-path="TIME_INTERVALS"/>
<obj-relationship name="room" source="TimeInterval" target="Room" deleteRule="Nullify" db-relationship-path="ROOM"/>
</data-map>
-------------------------------------------------
A temporary fix is to break the cycle before every delete:
ti.setToOneTarget("room", null, false);
