ORMLite is making new instances for objects that already exist. What am I doing wrong?

[Arthur C.R.]

I've made this example/test app: https://github.com/arthurrauter/ormlite-android to evaluate ORMLite as a possible ORM to a bigger project.

I have Users and they have Artworks (a one-to-many relationship). I manually created some Users and some Artworks objects (all Artworks belonging to the same User) and added them to the database. When I query for all Users, I get a List of Users as I would expect: One instance of User for each User and one instance of Artwork for each Artwork. Each instance of Artwork points back to the same instance of User. However, when I query for all the Artworks, I get one instance of Artwork for each Artwork BUT each Artwork refers to a different instance of User (when in fact they should all point to the same instance). Is this normal behaviour?
