Hi Folks..

I have this scenario:

class A {

   @Id
   Integer id;

   @OneToMany(cascade=ALL)
   Set<B> bList;

}

@UniqueConstraint(a, c)
class B {
    @Id
    integer id;

    @ManyToOne
    A a;

    @ManyToOne
    C c;

    ... Some other stuff

}

private class C {

    @Id
    Integer id;

    ... Some other stuff

}



Adding new B objects on the A list, everything works.
But, if I remove an B Object from the A list, and adds another, with a C relation equals to the removed object, an UniqueConstraint exception occours because eclipselink try to first insert or update the actual objects, and after, delete.

I read on the documentation that this is the normal behavior, and for now, i'm configuring the UnitOfWork of this transaction to perform deletes before, using the setShouldPerformDeleteFirst property. It works.

But theres no other way that I can configure the UniqueConstraint, that Eclipselink will understand that it needs to perform's delete first? Like configuring some kind of ID relation between the two entities (A and C) over the B mapping?

Thanks

Your best option is to delete the object, then call flush(), then reinsert it. But in general re-incarnating an object is odd, better to have unique Ids, such as using a generated id.
