CMR Setter throws IllegalStateException

SourceForge Submitter: sigbur .
I have been getting this quite a lot lately, with JBoss
3.2.4RC1 from CVS (about a month old). The exception is
thrown from the following code:

public void linkExpressionProbesAndAnnotations()
throws AnalysisException {
try {
// Load all of the ExpressionProbe records
and process them so that their one-to-one
// relations with the
ExpressionProbeAnnotation database are correct.
// This could take a long time, and with
CMP, also a lot of memory, unfortunately.
Collection probes =
ExpressionProbeUtil.getLocalHome().findAll();
for (Iterator i = probes.iterator();
i.hasNext() {
ExpressionProbeLocal probe =
(ExpressionProbeLocal)i.next();
String probeName = probe.getName();
String chipName =
probe.getChipType().getName();
Collection annotations =
ExpressionProbeAnnotationUtil.getLocalHome().findByProbeNameAndChipName(probeName,
chipName);
if (!annotations.isEmpty() &&
annotations.size() > 0)

{ probe.setAnnotation((ExpressionProbeAnnotationLocal)annotations.iterator().next()); }

else

{ log.warn("Empty Annotations! "+annotations.size()); }

probe = null;
annotations.clear();
}
} catch(Exception e)

{ e.printStackTrace(); throw new AnalysisException("Unable to link expression annotations.", e); }

}

The line that it is thrown from is the line which
begins 'probe.setAnnotation'. Since there is no
EJBCreate actually ocurring (unless it's somewhere in
the container) – all I'm doing is finding objects
using a finder – I think this is a bug in the container.

Thanks.
