Hello,

I am new to JPA, but I have reviewed the documentation and still cannot figure out how to resolve the following error. I would really appreciate your help to figure out this error.

Thanks in advance for your time and comments,

Mike

-------------------------------------------
Multiple writable mappings exist for the field [Licenses.CustomerId]. Only one may be defined as writable, all others must be specified read-only. Mapping: org.eclipse.persistence.mappings.ManyToOneMapping[customerVendorProduct] Descriptor: RelationalDescriptor(entities.License --> [DatabaseTable(Licenses)]) Runtime Exceptions:
-------------------------------------------


Here are the relationships that are involved:
* is the primary key.

Customer (1) ---- (n) License (n) ---- (1) CustomerVendorProduct
  *CustomerId           *LicenseId           *CustomerId+*VendorId+*ProductId
                         CustomerId (fk)


Here is the relavant code for each entity:

----- CUSTOMER ENTITY ------------------------------
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "CustomerId")
    private Long customerId;

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "customer")
private Collection<CustomerVendorProduct> customerVendorProductCollection;

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "customer")
private Collection<License> licenseCollection;
---------------------------------------------------


----- CUSTOMERVENDORPRODUCT ENTITY ----------------
    @EmbeddedId
    protected CustomerVendorProductPK customerVendorProductPK;

@JoinColumn(name = "VendorId", referencedColumnName = "VendorId", 
    insertable = false, updatable = false)
@ManyToOne(optional = false)
private Vendor vendor;

@JoinColumn(name = "ProductId", referencedColumnName = "ProductId", 
    insertable = false, updatable = false)
@ManyToOne(optional = false)
private Product product;

@JoinColumn(name = "CustomerId", referencedColumnName = "CustomerId", 
    insertable = false, updatable = false)
@ManyToOne(optional = false)
private Customer customer;

@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "customerVendorProduct")
private Collection<License> licenseCollection;
---------------------------------------------------


---- LICENSE ENTITY -------------------------------
    @Id
    @Basic(optional = false)
    @NotNull
    @Column(name = "LicenseId")
    private Long licenseId;

@JoinColumns({
  @JoinColumn(name = "CustomerId", referencedColumnName = "CustomerId"),
  @JoinColumn(name = "VendorId", referencedColumnName = "VendorId"),
  @JoinColumn(name = "ProductId", referencedColumnName = "ProductId")})
  
@ManyToOne(optional = false)
private CustomerVendorProduct customerVendorProduct;

@JoinColumn(name = "CustomerId", referencedColumnName = "CustomerId")
@ManyToOne(optional = false)
private Customer customer;

The License entity is using the CustomerId column in two mappings; the ManyToOne to Customer and CustomerVendorProduct, but only one mapping should be able write to the field. So you will need to mark one of the relationships as read-only, by marking the join-column as insertable=false, updateable=false just as you have done in the CustomerVendorProduct entity for the JoinColums mapped in both relations and EmbeddedId.

Also note that in JPA 2.0, relationships are allowed to be the primary key. You can mark the relationships within CustomerVendorProduct with @MapsId and point them to the fields within the EmbeddedId, and have JPA set the values in the EmbeddedId automatically from the values in the relationships. Or you can do away with having an EmbeddedId at all, and mark the ManyToOnes with @Id, using a primaryKeyclass instead of EmbeddedId. A simple example of the later is here http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Examples/JPA/2.0/DerivedIdentifiers
while http://wiki.eclipse.org/EclipseLink/Development/JPA_2.0/mappedbyid has more descriptive @MapsId examples.

Best Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,

Thank you very much for taking the time to send such a complete and helpful response! I really appreciate it. I am going to make the changes that you suggested and things should work properly. The next step will be for me to take a look at the alternatives that you've suggested in the second paragraph.

Thank you again for your help!

Mike
