Answer 1

From the error:

org.hibernate.AssertionFailure: null id in models.Software entry (don't flush the Session after an exception occurs)

We can see that a session exception has happened before. The point where this org.hibernate.AssertionFailure is thrown is not the point where the error ocurred.

That is: Something is suppressing the original exception.

So look for other possible points of error. A save() or saveOrUpdate() is possibly trying to persist an entity with a null field where, in the table, the column is NOT NULL.

In my case, the real exception was taking place inside a try/catch {} block where the catch suppressed the exception (didn't rethrow or warn me about it).
