Two things.... 1. More importantly, what is the detail of your javax.jdo.JDOUserException, and what is your code that is associated with this exception?
2. I personally use bi-directional relationships between parent and children. So in your case, you could add to your Tweeter class: @Persistent(mappedBy="tweeter") @Element(dependent="true") @Order(extensions = @Extension(vendorName="datanucleus", key="list- ordering", value="key ASC")) private ArrayList<Truck> liTrucks = new ArrayList<Truck>(); but you might want to omit the "@Element" line.
