I was getting the same error but solved it finally actually i was not setting the Object Entity which is already saved to the other entity and hence the Object value it was getting for foreeign key was null

User · Answer

This could be as simple as    Column name    Some Column   nullable   false    but while persisting  the value of  Some Column is null  even if  Some Column  may not be any primary or foreign key

User · Answer

Make that variable as transient Your problem will get solved     Column name  emp name   nullable false  length 30      private transient String empName

Check the unsaved values for your primary key Object ID in your hbm files  If you have automated ID creation by hibernate framework and you are setting the ID somewhere it will throw this error By default the unsaved value is 0  so if you set the ID to 0 you will see this error

I resolved by removing     Basic optional   false   property or just update boolean     Basic optional   true

User · Answer

for followers  this error message can also mean  you have it referencing a foreign object that hasn t been saved to the DB yet   even though it s there  and is non null

Every InvoiceItem must have an Invoice attached to it because of the not-null  true  in the many-to-one mapping     So the basic idea is you need to set up that explicit relationship in code   There are many ways to do that   On your class I see a setItems method   I do NOT see an addInvoiceItem method   When you set items  you need to loop through the set and call item setInvoice this  on all of the items   If you implement an addItem method  you need to do the same thing   Or you need to otherwise set the Invoice of every InvoiceItem in the collection
