Hibernate-very strange problem, help please

Question

Hi, i got such a strange problem that im sure you ll think im doin crazy talk :) , i dont see why this would happen at all, i have a class called "Package", mapped to a table "package". whenever i do a query on this table using hibernate, even the simplest "find all" kinda of query, hibernate does update on the table b4 doin the query! even more weird, it does the update when the first query on this table happens, it deletes all values of a column (yes only this column); then if i do the same query again, no update at all. however if now i mannuall add those missing values, it does the update again and deletes them! sry its confusing, heres my code and more of wat i done:
The mapping Package.hbm.xml
<hibernate-mapping package="tuition.bo">
<class name="Package" table="package">
<id name="id" column="study_package_id" type="long">
<generator class="sequence"/>
</id>
<property name="name" column="name" not-null="true"/>
<property name="satTiming" column="sat_timing" not-null="false"/>
<property name="satSubjects" column="sat_subjects" not-null="false"/>
<property name="sunTiming" column="sun_timing" not-null="false"/>
<property name="sunSubjects" column="sun_subjects" not-null="false"/>
<set name="classes" inverse="true" cascade="delete-orphan" lazy="true">
<key column="package_id"/>
<one-to-many class="Class"/>
</set>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
For example initialy i populated database using hibernate, like this:
package_id, name, sat_timing, sat_subjects, sun_timing, sun_subjects
1 no.1 9-12 business 9-12 law
2 no.2 9-11 business 9-11 law
Then after i populated this database, i did this query:
<b>List res=getHibernateTemplate().find("FROM Package");</b>
and you can see the log file as such: (excerpt)
16:23:06,687 INFO TransactionFactoryFactory:31 - Using default transaction strategy (direct JDBC transactions)

as you can see, it does update and changed table field values to this:
package_id, name, sat_timing, sat_subjects, sun_timing, sun_subjects
1 no.1 business law
2 no.2 business law
---------- all tiimings are gone. and now if i re-do the same query, there are NO UPDATE operations....howver if i add some values to sat_timing, sun_timing, and re-do the query, very surprisingly, i saw those update operations which delete all timing values again!
im totally lost... i havent changed any config, this doenst happen to my other classes at all but just this one.... any ideas please! even some thought of what may caused this would be great help! thank you!
