I should add one more note following up on Gail's hint regarding Environment.CHECK_NULLABILITY:
Disabling null checking just allows the save operation to get all the way to the insert operation before a ConstraintViolationException is thrown, which still occurs since the required attribute is being nulled out by ForeignKeys.nullifyTransientReferences. This is where the problem seems to lie.
Regards,
Jonathan

I'm using 3.5.4 and am seeing the exact behavior that Krasimir described. If I persist an object graph where some entity in the chain is transient, ForeignKeys.nullifyTransientReferences nulls out the value, then Nullability.checkNullability throws an exception since the attribute is set to not-null. This occurs on Session.saveOrUpdate.
Please advise if there is a workaround or patch that can be tested.

PropertyValueException is not thrown by 3.6.0-Beta-2 or by 3.5.4 when using annotations.
In these versions, the nullified values are not checked because a new environment variable, Environment.CHECK_NULLABILITY, defaults to false if Bean Validation is present. Instead, Hibernate attempts to save the entity having the nullified values, which fails (e.g., GenericJDBCException) because non-nullable columns are set to null.

Nullability.checkNullability throws PropertyValueException (not-null property references a null property) for a property that ForeignKeys.Nullifier.nullifyTransientReferences just nulled.
I've included an Eclipse Java project which can reproduce the problem (didn't include the jars).
The problem requires a pretty big graph to be reproduce able. The file "Domain Model.jpg" displays the Classes that take part in the problem.
The Domain Model is a simplification of the entities from our application.
In the example, ModelTest.java, there's only one active instance entity of each type (from A to H).
With the given test case, when an instance of a is passed to entityManager.persist(..), then the following exception is thrown:

As noted in TestModel.java, if some of the other entities (namely c, g or h) are passed to persist(), then the problem doesn't occur.
I've tried to debug the problem and the only difference I've seen inside ForeignKeys.Nullifier.nullifyTransientReferences() is that, in the cases where an exception is thrown, then the B instance that C.b points to has the state SAVING, whereas when the exception isn't thrown, then it has state MANAGED.
When the B instance has state SAVING, then ForeignKeys.Nullifier.nullifyTransientReferences() nulls then entry in it's value array.
After that, Nullability.checkNullability(), performs a null check, which fails because ForeignKeys.Nullifier.nullifyTransientReferences() just nulled the property in the values array.
Could it be a solution to reverse the order of the ForeignKeys.Nullifier.nullifyTransientReferences() and Nullability.checkNullability() (See AbstractEventListener.performSaveOrReplicate(...))
or does ForeignKeys.Nullifier.nullifyTransientReferences() instead have to take nullability into considerations?
