Objectify - UnsupportedOperationException when loading entity by id in transaction

Question

I have a User class which inherits from a Page class. In a transaction I wish to load a User entity by ID (obtained from a different entity), but I get a LoadException caused by an UnsupportedOperationException. I'm using objectify 4.0-rc2.

User user = MyObjectifyService.ofy().load().type(User.class).id(info.user).now();

The exception is:

Answer 1

You are loading data into a collection field. Objectify uses an existing collection if the field is already initialized with one (thus you can have collections with special sort Comparators, etc). It looks like you have initialized your collection field with some sort of unmodifiable list.

Initialize the list with a normal ArrayList or whatever you want.

Answer 2

Maybe it's related but I don't think, there's an Immutable collection here too, but the error happens when GAE is turned off and statred the first time (more details here: https://code.google.com/p/objectify-appengine/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Milestone%20Owner%20Summary&groupby=&sort=&id=165)
