JPA and Hibernate initialize Non Lazy Collections Error

Question

In my JavaFX application When I use Non Lazy Collection option with EmbeddedId class, for maintain bidirectional relation ship it will produce following exception. After working on several hours yet I can not get fixed it. Entity classes as follow. Thanks.

EmbeddedId class

@Embeddable
public class WorkflowStepPK implements Serializable {

    @Column(name = "STEP_SEQ_NO", nullable = false)
    private Integer stepSeqNo;

    @JoinColumn(name = "WST_ID", referencedColumnName = "ID", nullable = false)
    @ManyToOne
    private WfScriptTemplate wfScriptTemplate;
} 

WorkflowStep Entity (with EmbeddedId)

@Entity
@Table(name = "workflow_step")
public class WorkflowStep implements Serializable {

    @EmbeddedId
    private WorkflowStepPK id;

    // more fields
}

WfScriptTemplate Entity (with bidirectional relation ship)

@Entity
@Table(name = "wf_script_template")
public class WfScriptTemplate implements Serializable {

    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @Column(name = "ID")
    private Integer id;

    // Refer the filed "wfScriptTemplate" inside the Composite key of WorkflowStep entity
    @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.REMOVE, mappedBy = "id.wfScriptTemplate")
    @LazyCollection(LazyCollectionOption.FALSE)
    @OrderBy(value = "stepSeqNo")
    private List<WorkflowStep> workflowStepList;
}

Answer 1

Excerpt from JPA 2.0 Specification, chapter 11.1.38 OrderBy Annotation:

The dot (".") notation is used to refer to an attribute within an embedded attribute. The value of each identifier used with the dot notation is the nameof the respective embedded field or property.

so you should rather annotate workflowStepList with:

@OrderBy(value = "id.stepSeqNo")
private List<WorkflowStep> workflowStepList;

thus indicating that stepSeqNo belongs to WorkflowStep embeddable.
