Hi I have a solution for the problem but it requires a change that is not backward compatiable, let me know if you would like to share it

Hi @edwinquaihoi,

sorry for my late answer. If you have a fix for the problem you can (of course) open a pull request if you like. I cannot reproduce the problem yet because you did not provide an example. Looking forward for your PR!

@edwinquaihoi I think I've run into this too (same object held in sub-array is coming up as an independent object... which then causes hibernate to complain that I'm persisting the same object twice) do you still have your solution?

[simonnagl]

Hi @nsoft ,
can you please clarify what you mean with same object held in sub-array?

If I can reproduce this bug I might also be able to fix it.

I worked around this by invoking the Javascript JSOG library in Angular instead of this one. I don't exactly recall, but basically I had an object with a list, and one of the objects in the list had a reference to the parent, but was fully rendered and thus the object was re-created instead of referenced.
