In net.digitalprimates.persistence.hibernate.HibernateManaged the manageChildHibernateObjects function is checking for accessors in describeType( object ), which misses out variables, which results in entry becoming null in the getProperty function, if a variable is not a simple object but a HibernateBean.

Workaroud: add accessors to variables.

Can you give me an object that causes this issue? By default when something is marked managed, all of the variables become getter/setter pairs which should be caught be the accessor. Curious to know what is going wrong here

Might be my mistake, i'm not sure what was going on but i can't replicate the error now.

No problem. Just keep us posted if you can reproduce
