@QueryInit not working with deep nested paths

I am using QueryDSL 4.1.4 with Spring Data in a project and am having trouble using it with nested paths. Consider the following JPA classes:

@Entity @QueryEntity class Company {}

@Entity
@QueryEntity
class Contract {
  @ManyToOne
  @QueryInit("*.*")
  Company buyer;

  @ManyToOne
  @QueryInit("*.*")
  Company seller;
}

@Entity @QueryEntity class Bill { @ManyToOne @QueryInit("*.*") Contract contract; }

@Entity @QueryEntity class Payment { @ManyToOne @QueryInit("*.*") Bill bill; }

@Entity @QueryEntity class Posting { @ManyToOne @QueryInit("*.*") Payment payment; }

With this set up, the following throws NullPointerException:

QPosting.posting.payment.bill.contract.buyer.name.equalsIgnoreCase(...)

Debugging shows that QPosting.posting.payment.bill.contract.buyer (and QPosting.posting.payment.bill.contract.seller) is null.

The following however work fine:

1. QPayment.payment.bill.contract.buyer.name.equalsIgnoreCase(...)
2. QBill.bill.contract.buyer.name.equalsIgnoreCase(...)
3. QContract.contract.buyer.name.equalsIgnoreCase(...)

I am using com.mysema.maven:apt-maven-plugin:1.1.1 and QueryDSL version 4.1.4.

A full sample project is available here. Run Maven tests as mvn clean test to see the error.

I just encountered the same issue in my model.

I get a NullPointerException when calling upisaniPredmet.upisaniElement.upis.student.

upisaniPredmet.upisaniElement is not null. upisaniPredmet.upisaniElement.upis is not null. upisaniPredmet.upisaniElement.upis.student is null.

I have exactly the same problem. Must be the bug
