I have a very peculiar situation which has cost me most of the day already.
- If all ordered products are delivered, the associated orderline is set to delivered = true.
- If all orderlines of a single order are delivered, the order itself it set to delivered = true.
- If the user made an error and an amount is reduced, an orderline may be set back to delivered = false and hence the order itself is set to delivered=false.

This is basic redundant information for easy use, enforced by the business model: there is some code at the setAmount that determines the delivered state of the associated orderline, and that again determines the order.
The same code is executed everytime.

The behavior I have is, if the code sets the order:
- back to delivered=false, this is then correctly updated in the database
- to delivered=true, this is NOT written to the database

I know this is a long shot... Anyone seen something like this before?

What was the delivered to begin with? If it was already true, then setting it to true will have no effect, so nothing will be written to the database.

It's being toggled. The resulting boolean also means another record is either inserted or deleted, and that record is correctly handled (so when false -> true the record is correctly inserted, when true -> false it is correctly removed).

But once the entity's property is set to false, it stays false. In memory it is set to true, the related record is inserted, but the entity itself is simply not persisted.

Same goes for a text property I update synchronous to the boolean (always append an "x"). When the entity goes from true -> false the text field also is updated, from false -> true it isn't. The EM seems to ignore it.

If I create a small test scenario, it works as expected. So it some circumstantial factor.

Well, I patched things by executing a native SQL after the transaction is committed. Not great, but it works for now...

Sounds like you may have two different copies of the object. When the error occurs, does it cause a rollback, this would clear the persistence context. Are you using flush() or anything else different?

Otherwise, you would probably need to get your simple example to reproduce the issue.

There is no error, since it is a redundant value. The change simply is not persisted, but all other related entities are.

Yeah. I know. But then the word "simple" can be striked. The example are the actual BM actions as they are performed by the user through the Swing GUI, and they work ok.
Hmmmmmmmm, maybe someday I'll find the time. Right now I'm ok with seeing if I stumble over the cause somewhere in the future.
