Hibernate Error: org.hibernate.NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session

I have two user Objects and while I try to save the object using 

session.save(userObj);

I am getting the following error:

Caused by: org.hibernate.NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session:
[com.pojo.rtrequests.User#com.pojo.rtrequests.User@d079b40b]

I am creating the session using 

BaseHibernateDAO dao = new BaseHibernateDAO();          

rtsession = dao.getSession(userData.getRegion(),
                           BaseHibernateDAO.RTREQUESTS_DATABASE_NAME);

rttrans = rtsession.beginTransaction();
rttrans.begin();

rtsession.save(userObj1);
rtsession.save(userObj2);

rtsession.flush();
rttrans.commit();

rtsession.close(); // in finally block

I also tried doing the session.clear() before saving, still no luck.

This is for the first I am getting the session object when a user request comes, so I am getting why is saying that object is present in session.

Any suggestions?

I have had this error many times and it can be quite hard to track down...

Basically, what hibernate is saying is that you have two objects which have the same identifier (same primary key) but they are not the same object.

I would suggest you break down your code, i.e. comment out bits until the error goes away and then put the code back until it comes back and you should find the error.

It most often happens via cascading saves where there is a cascade save between object A and B, but object B has already been associated with the session but is not on the same instance of B as the one on A.

What primary key generator are you using?

The reason I ask is this error is related to how you're telling hibernate to ascertain the persistent state of an object (i.e. whether an object is persistent or not). The error could be happening because hibernate is trying to persist an object that is already persistent. In fact, if you use save hibernate will try and persist that object, and maybe there is already an object with that same primary key associated with the session.

Example

Assuming you have a hibernate class object for a table with 10 rows based on a primary key combination (column 1 and column 2). Now, you have removed 5 rows from the table at some point of time. Now, if you try to add the same 10 rows again, while hibernate tries to persist the objects in database, 5 rows which were already removed will be added without errors. Now the remaining 5 rows which are already existing, will throw this exception.

So the easy approach would be checking if you have updated/removed any value in a table which is part of something and later are you trying to insert the same objects again

You can use session.merge(obj), if you are doing save with different sessions with same identifier persistent object.
It worked, I had same issue before.

This problem occurs when we update the same object of session, which we have used to fetch the object from database.

You can use merge method of hibernate instead of update method.

e.g. First use session.get() and then you can use session.merge (object). This method will not create any problem. We can also use merge() method to update object in database.

I also ran into this problem and had a hard time to find the error.

The problem I had was the following:

The object has been read by a Dao with a different hibernate session.

To avoid this exception, simply re-read the object with the dao that is going to save/update this object later on.

so:

class A{      

 readFoo(){
       someDaoA.read(myBadAssObject); //Different Session than in class B
    }

}

class B{



 saveFoo(){
       someDaoB.read(myBadAssObjectAgain); //Different Session than in class A
       [...]
       myBadAssObjectAgain.fooValue = 'bar';
       persist();
    }

}

Hope that save some people a lot of time!

By default is using the identity strategy but I fixed it by adding

@ID
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)

Are your Id mappings correct? If the database is responsible for creating the Id through an identifier, you need to map your userobject to that ..

Check if you forgot to put @GenerateValue for @Id column. I had same problem with many to many relationship between Movie and Genre. The program threw Hibernate Error: org.hibernate.NonUniqueObjectException: a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session error. I found out later that I just have to make sure you have @GenerateValue to the GenreId get method.

Late to the party, but may help for coming users -

I got this issue when i select a record using getsession() and again update another record with same identifier using same session causes the issue. Added code below.

Customer existingCustomer=getSession().get(Customer.class,1);
Customer customerFromUi;// This customer details comiong from UI with identifer 1

getSession().update(customerFromUi);// Here the issue comes

This should never be done . Solution is either evict session before update or change business logic.

I just had the same problem .I solve it by adding this line:

@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)

Another thing that worked for me was to make the instance variable Long in place of long


I had my primary key variable long id; changing it to Long id; worked

All the best

We are using an old version hibernate (3.2.6) and the problem for us was, that Hibernate expected the first column in the result set to be the generated primary key. Took me ages to figure that out.

Solution: Ensure in that in the DDL the generated primary key is always the first column. Solution 2: Update hibernate
