Produces console output:

Just tried and the output is as expected:

Created memberships: {Bar Association=President}
Retrieved memberships: {Bar Association=President}

Maybe you have an existing database in that path, which contains a Person#1 instance with an empty map?

My version of the test now runs correctly also, after I deleted the database and reran it causing a new database to be created. Maybe my first test was retrieving an old Person that I didn't realized existed. I neglected to check first. Hopefully this additional information will help find the problem in the real application. I'll post what the original problem was when I find it.

Your help and quick response was much appreciated.

If you open the database in the Explorer you will see that now the Id of the Person instance is #2. Id #1 is now allocated to the Association instance. Accordingly, the find should return null.

When something doesn't work, try to check the reasons in the debugger, the Explorer, etc. If the reason is still unknown, please post to the forum and we will be happy to help.

It has been the ObjectDB Explorer that I've primarily been looking at, and where there might be a bug.

Making the below correction (as you pointed out) to the above test (sorry for the mistake):

    Person pr = em.find(Person.class, 2);

Still shows the MapEnty in Explorer with an incorrect Value:

Key Association#1 {R} {}
Value Unknown  null

There is indeed a problem is viewing the TreeMap in the Explorer.

The reason for this is that the Explorer generates synthetic classes instead of your classes, and the generated classes do not include an appropriate implementation of compareTo, which is essential in order to process a TreeMap properly.

We will check what can be done to fix this problem. Thank you for this report.

Meanwhile, as a workaround, run the Explorer with your classes available in the classpath.

Build 2.5.1_02 should fix most cases.

Adding the classes to the Explorer classpath may still be needed in some cases.
