MergeChangeSetCommand NullPointerException" in remote EclipseLink Session [message #478727]

I am using EclipseLink 1.0.2.
I have Parent & Child with 1:m relationship. When I delete a child object
which is held in Parent's child collection (ValuHolder)I am getting
"command type MergeChangeSetCommand Internal Exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException" in remote EclipseLink session. I didn't
get this kind of error in toplink.

Parent has 1: m with Child.
OneToManyMapping childsMapping = new OneToManyMapping();
childsMapping.setAttributeName("childs");
childsMapping.setReferenceClass(Child.class);
childsMapping.setRelationshipPartnerAttributeName("parent");
childsMapping.privateOwnedRelationship();
childsMapping.useBasicIndirection();

Child has back reference to Parent.
DirectToFieldMapping parentIdMapping = new DirectToFieldMapping();
parentIdMapping.setAttributeName("parentId");
parentIdMapping.setFieldName("t_Child.parent_id");
descriptor.addMapping(parentIdMapping);

OneToOneMapping parentMapping = new OneToOneMapping();
parentMapping.setAttributeName("parent");
parentMapping.setReferenceClass(Parent.class);
parentMapping.setRelationshipPartnerAttributeName("childs");
parentMapping.useBasicIndirection();
parentMapping.addForeignKeyFieldName("t_Child.parent_id", "t_Parent.id");

I am using ValueHolder for holding relationship object.

When I remove child from Parent's child collection, everything works fine
in local session. But following exception occures in remote EclipseLink
session. In remote session, When Eclipselink tries to remove child object,
it doesn't get entry of child object in its identityMap. Hence while
removing child object,following excpetion comes.

I would recommend logging a bug. You may also try to see if the issue
still occurs in 1.1 or 2.0. The bug seems to be related to using a Map
container policy, but your mapping did not seem to include this?

As a workaround, you may consider switching cache coordination to use
invalidation instead of change sets.

Hi James,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

I didn't include full mapping for 1:m relationshoip. Parent descriptor
uses Map container policy for containing child collection.
Is it a bug related to Map container policy?

Here are the mappings.

Parent Descriptor

DirectToFieldMapping idMapping = new DirectToFieldMapping();
idMapping.setAttributeName("id");
idMapping.setFieldName("t_Parent.id");
descriptor.addMapping(idMapping);

OneToManyMapping childsMapping = new OneToManyMapping();
childsMapping.setAttributeName("childs");
childsMapping.setReferenceClass(Child.class);
childsMapping.setRelationshipPartnerAttributeName("parent");
childsMapping.privateOwnedRelationship();
childsMapping.useBasicIndirection();
childsMapping.useMapClass(java.util.HashMap.class, "getAnotherid");
childsMapping.addTargetForeignKeyFieldName("t_Child.parent_id ",
"t_Parent.id");
descriptor.addMapping(childsMapping);

Child Descriptor

DirectToFieldMapping idMapping = new DirectToFieldMapping();
idMapping.setAttributeName("id");
idMapping.setFieldName("t_Child.id");
descriptor.addMapping(idMapping);

DirectToFieldMapping anotheridMapping = new DirectToFieldMapping();
anotheridMapping.setAttributeName("anotherid");
anotheridMapping.setFieldName("t_Child.anotherid");
descriptor.addMapping(anotheridMapping);

DirectToFieldMapping parentIdMapping = new DirectToFieldMapping();
parentIdMapping.setAttributeName("parentId");
parentIdMapping.setFieldName("t_Child.parent_id");
parentIdMapping.readOnly();
descriptor.addMapping(parentIdMapping);

OneToOneMapping parentMapping = new OneToOneMapping();
parentMapping.setAttributeName("parent");
parentMapping.setReferenceClass(Parent.class);
parentMapping.setRelationshipPartnerAttributeName("childs");
parentMapping.useBasicIndirection();
parentMapping.addForeignKeyFieldName("t_Child.parent_id", "t_Parent.id");
descriptor.addMapping(parentMapping);

Thanks a lot for any help.

Regards

Yes, the issue is related to the MapContainerPolicy. There seems to be an
issue with the distributed merge code when something is removed and it is
not in the target server's cache.

Please log the bug, as a workaround either remove the Map, or use
invalidation for the cache coordination.
