Show us your mapping, and the code you use to save, and we'll tell you what's wrong. – JB Nizet Jun 11 '12 at 12:14

Instead of @NotNull, indicate that the association is not optional using @ManyToOne(optional = false). The @NotNull is not specific to Hibernate; it's a generic bean annotation that may be enforced prior to saving the entitites. To be safe, I suggest using @NotNull primarily for @Column attributes.

the entity with the onetomany/collection will by default maintain the association by cascading to the child which inserts first without the backreference and then updates the id. To solve this the onetomany/collection mapping must have the inverse attribute set and the backreference in the child must be set correctly.
