Jira issue originally created by user iamkoby:

i am using the latest version of doctrine: 2.3

when you call a generated association function, the first time everything is fine:

$authors = $book->getBookToAuthors();
//$authors = array(5)
but the second time instead of returning the array of all associations it returns the last hydrated entity:

$authors = $book->getBookToAuthors();
//$authors = BookToAuthor entity
that happens even when there is nothing else happening:

$authors = $book->getBookToAuthors(); //will work
$authors = $book->getBookToAuthors(); //won't work
the function of getBookToAuthors() is:

public function getBookToAuthors()
{
return $this->bookToAuthors;
}
and the mapping is as follows:

/****

@var BookToAuthor[]
*
@OneToMany(targetEntity="BookToAuthor", mappedBy="book", cascade={"persist"})
@JoinColumn(name="id", referencedColumnName="book_id", onDelete="cascade")
*/
private $bookToAuthors;
please advise. i don't know what to do... :-(

sorry sorry sorry
it was a mistake in the association target side.

the target had One-To-One association instead of Many-To-One
