Set null causes the loading of the relationship [message #657472] Wed, 02 March 2011 16:38 Go to next message

Why exactly when a lazy relationship property is set to null, the query to load that relationship is executed?

This happens just in JEE environment (weblogic 10.3.2 eclipselink 1.2.0)

Thanks. Mauro.

Because the old value must be obtained.

To track changes and process the update correctly when you set the value of the relationship the old value must be known, to know if it changed or not. Also, if orphanRemoval is used the old value is required so it can be deleted.

Is there a way to change this behaviour?

Is this behaviour correct even for detached entities ?

Thanks. Mauro.

If you read the objects using a read-only query, then they will not track changes (but you also must not change them). You could also set "eclipselink.maintain-cache" to false on a query, this would return detached objects.

You could also create a copy of the managed object using the JpaEntityManager copy() API.

How did you detach the object? If they were copied or serialized, then they will not query the old value. If they were read from another EntityManager, then they are probably still attached to it. Technically if you closed the EntityManager, EclipseLink could be smart enough to disable change tracking, but that is not currently done, you could log a bug for that if you wish.
