此错误的可能性非常多，其他一些可能性也出现在添加页或编辑页上。在我的案例中，我试图保存一个对象AdvanceSalary。问题是，在编辑AdvanceSalary employee.employee_id时为空，因为在编辑时我没有设置employee。

    @Entity(name = "ic_advance_salary")
    @Table(name = "ic_advance_salary")
    public class AdvanceSalary extends BaseDO{

        @Id
        @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
        @Column(name = "id")
        private Integer id;

        @ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
        @JoinColumn(name = "employee_id", nullable = false)
        private Employee employee;

        @Column(name = "employee_id", insertable=false, updatable=false)
        @NotNull(message="Please enter employee Id")
        private Long employee_id;

        @Column(name = "advance_date")
        @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy")
        @NotNull(message="Please enter advance date")
        private Date advance_date;

        @Column(name = "amount")
        @NotNull(message="Please enter Paid Amount")
        private Double amount;

        @Column(name = "cheque_date")
        @DateTimeFormat(pattern = "dd-MMM-yyyy")
        private Date cheque_date;

        @Column(name = "cheque_no")
        private String cheque_no;

        @Column(name = "remarks")
        private String remarks;

        public AdvanceSalary() {
        }

        public AdvanceSalary(Integer advance_salary_id) {
            this.id = advance_salary_id;
        }

        public Integer getId() {
            return id;
        }

        public void setId(Integer id) {
            this.id = id;
        }

        public Employee getEmployee() {
            return employee;
        }

        public void setEmployee(Employee employee) {
            this.employee = employee;
        }


        public Long getEmployee_id() {
            return employee_id;
        }

        public void setEmployee_id(Long employee_id) {
            this.employee_id = employee_id;
        }

    }

当我使用

getSession().save(object)

但当我使用

getSession().saveOrUpdate(object) 

当我在标记为@Transactional的方法中创建了一个新实体和一个关联实体，然后在保存之前执行了一个查询时，我遇到了这个问题。前任

@Transactional
public someService() {
    Entity someEntity = new Entity();
    AssocaiatedEntity associatedEntity = new AssocaitedEntity();
    someEntity.setAssociatedEntity(associatedEntity);
    associatedEntity.setEntity(someEntity);

    // Performing any query was causing hibernate to attempt to persist the new entity. It would then throw an exception
    someDao.getSomething();

    entityDao.create(someEntity);
}

为了解决这个问题，我在创建新实体之前执行了查询。

在我的例子中，这是由于双向关系的@ManyToOne一侧没有CascadeType导致的。更准确地说，我在@OneToMany端有CascadeType.ALL，而在@ManyToOne端没有。将CascadeType.ALL添加到@ManyToOne解决了该问题。一对多：

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="globalConfig", orphanRemoval = true)
private Set<GlobalConfigScope>gcScopeSet;

多对一（导致问题）

@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name="global_config_id")
private GlobalConfig globalConfig;

多对一（通过添加CascadeType.PERSIST修复）

@ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST)
@JoinColumn(name="global_config_id")
private GlobalConfig globalConfig;

错误的一个可能原因是父实体的值设置不存在；例如，对于部门员工关系，为了修复错误，您必须编写以下内容：

Department dept = (Department)session.load(Department.class, dept_code); // dept_code is from the jsp form which you get in the controller with @RequestParam String department
employee.setDepartment(dept);

当我没有持久化父对象但我正在保存孩子时，我遇到了这个异常。为了解决这个问题，在同一个会话中，我保留了子对象和父对象，并在父对象上使用了CascadeType.ALL。
