While working on a Spring 3 MVC project using Hibernate, we encountered an annoying error. We are creating a carpool application. People can add routes (using the Gmap 3 plugin for jQuery) and can add waypoints to their route. In the database, a waypoint has a foreign key to a route. When trying to update a route (adding/removing waypoints and re-saving the route), we get the “found two representations of the same collection” error. We’ve researched the Internet but mostly the topics talk about the Play framework (we don’t use that) and furthermore they talk about annotations as mapping method (while we use XML mappings). Does anyone have any idea how we can fix this? Or is this a problem in Hibernate itself?
Some code to clarify the problem:
XML mapping of the route class:

We also tried adding route.getWaypoints().clear(); but that didn’t seem to help.
Any suggestions on what to do? If you want more information, just ask.
In the mapping of
Waypointclass,Just remove the
cascade="all"and modify your mapping as below,Try to execute the code.
You can also refer the blog post here or a thread on the hibernate discussion forums here. Read here on the usage of cascade option in hibernate.
