hibernate stream corrupted exception

Question

In a spring mvc application using hibernate, I am getting a could not deserialize error when I change the FetchType to EAGER in a OneToMany relationship between two entities, Encounter and Referral. The error gets thrown whenever any data-driven url in my app gets called, even though I only changed the FetchType in one relationship.

Note: Some of the code for this posting has been placed at a file sharing site, which you can access by clicking the links below.

Also Note: I tried FetchType.Lazy, but that triggers errors relating to failing to lazily initiate... no session. So I need to use FetchType.EAGER.

The relevant property definition in Encounter is:

@OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="encounter")
private Set<Referral> referrals = new HashSet<Referral>();

The entire code for the Encounter entity can be read at a file sharing site by clicking on this link.

The relevant property definition in Referral is:

@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
@JoinColumn(name="encounter_id")
protected Encounter encounter;  

The entire code for the Referral entity can be read at a file sharing site by clicking on this link.

Here is the complete stack trace:

The property date of type org.joda.time.LocalDate is probably the culprit. The Jadira usertype library can handle these types.

Add the library to your classpath and annotate the LocalDate field with:

@Type(type="org.jadira.usertype.dateandtime.joda.PersistentLocalDate")
