Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 When executing a typed query with nested embeddables, a NullPointerException is thrown in InheritancePolicy.java:1381. Assume an object of Type "GenericEntity" with embeddable "EmbeddedObject" that contains itself another embeddable, e.g. "NestedEmbeddedObject". A query for an object of type GenericEntity fails fails due to NPE in InheritancePolicy.java:1381. Code sample: CriteriaBuilder cb = getEm().getCriteriaBuilder(); CriteriaQuery<ExampleEntity> cq = cb.createQuery(ExampleEntity.class); Root<ExampleEntity> root = cq.from(ExampleEntity.class); List<Predicate> predicates = new ArrayList<Predicate>(); Map<String, Object> attributes = new HashMap(); ExampleEntity ent = new ExampleEntity(); //NOTE: EmbeddedObject is an embeddable that contains another embeddable, e.g. NestedEmbeddedObject EmbeddedObject emb = ent.getEmbeddedObject(); predicates.add(cb.equal((Expression) root.get("embeddedObject"), emb)); cq.where(predicates.toArray(new Predicate[] {})); TypedQuery<ExampleEntity> q = getEm().createQuery(cq); //fails due to NPE in InheritancePolicy.java:1381 List<ExampleEntity> results = q.getResultList(); java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.InheritancePolicy.selectAllRowUsingDefaultMultipleTableSubclassRead(InheritancePolicy.java:1381) at org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.InheritancePolicy.selectAllRowUsingMultipleTableSubclassRead(InheritancePolicy.java:1422) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.ExpressionQueryMechanism.selectAllRows(ExpressionQueryMechanism.java:2548) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ReadAllQuery.executeObjectLevelReadQuery(ReadAllQuery.java:418) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ObjectLevelReadQuery.executeDatabaseQuery(ObjectLevelReadQuery.java:1097) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.DatabaseQuery.execute(DatabaseQuery.java:829)...

Setting target and priority. See the following page for the meanings of these fields: http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/Bugs/Guidelines Community: Please vote for this bug if it is important to you. Votes are one of the main criteria we use to determine which bugs to fix next.
PLEASE NOTE: After a deeper analysis I figured that the problem was not caused by the use of nested embeddables - the exception was raised because we used embeddables in a superclass of another entity class (inheritance strategy: JOINED). In this case, queries (built with the criteria API) on the superclass failed when using an embeddable as search criteria (queries on the subclass worked). Our workaround was to wrap the embedded objects in the superclass. I can recommend this approach in general when using the criteria API because otherwise all non-set fields of an embeddable are compared by "is null" which is presumably not the wanted behavior in most use cases.
Another example: @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") public <ENTITY> ENTITY getTramiteProxyByTramite(Class<ENTITY> clazz, CTramite tramite) throws CException { try { Query query = getEntityManager().createQuery( "SELECT alias FROM " + clazz.getSimpleName() + " alias WHERE alias.tramite.id = :tramiteId AND alias.fechaFinVigencia is null"); query.setParameter("tramiteId", tramite.getId()); return (ENTITY) query.getSingleResult(); } catch (NoResultException e) { return null; } catch (Exception ex) { throw new CException(1, ex); } } ADVERTENCIA: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.InheritancePolicy.selectAllRowUsingDefaultMultipleTableSubclassRead(InheritancePolicy.java:1381) at org.eclipse.persistence.descriptors.InheritancePolicy.selectAllRowUsingMultipleTableSubclassRead(InheritancePolicy.java:1422) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.queries.ExpressionQueryMechanism.selectAllRows(ExpressionQueryMechanism.java:2548) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ReadAllQuery.executeObjectLevelReadQuery(ReadAllQuery.java:418) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ObjectLevelReadQuery.executeDatabaseQuery(ObjectLevelReadQuery.java:1097) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.DatabaseQuery.execute(DatabaseQuery.java:829) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ObjectLevelReadQuery.execute(ObjectLevelReadQuery.java:1056) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ReadAllQuery.execute(ReadAllQuery.java:390) at org.eclipse.persistence.queries.ObjectLevelReadQuery.executeInUnitOfWork(ObjectLevelReadQuery.java:1144) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.UnitOfWorkImpl.internalExecuteQuery(UnitOfWorkImpl.java:2863) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession.executeQuery(AbstractSession.java:1501) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession.executeQuery(AbstractSession.java:1483) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.sessions.AbstractSession.executeQuery(AbstractSession.java:1457) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.EJBQueryImpl.executeReadQuery(EJBQueryImpl.java:485) at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.EJBQueryImpl.getSingleResult(EJBQueryImpl.java:773) at ar.gov.conicet.apps.global.dao.jpa.CDAOUtil.getTramiteProxyByTramite(CDAOUtil.java:59)
