Hi, I have a bidirectional many-to-many relationship between two entities. Each entity references a collection of the other entity.
I import data, then retrieve entities with a query. However, when I refer to an entity's collection, its size is always 0 (eg, group.getUsers().size () is 0). I look into the db and the join table is filled correctly. I restart the app, and then the same entity correctly returns the collection. That is, group.getUsers().size() is now > 0 and I can access the collection's elements. I am wondering is this is a known pattern and there is an a-ha out there. Otherwise OpenJPA is working great! Thanks, chris
