JPA-RS: @OneToOne relationship problem [message #1015901]

I am using GlassFish 3.1.2.2 with EclipseLink 2.5.0 nightly build 02/26 (org.eclipse.persistence.jpars_2.5.0.v20130226-e0971b1.jar). I had success with @OneToMany relationships, but I can't get @OneToOne working. Consider the following entities:

@Entity
public class SomeEntity implements Serializable {
	private static final long serialVersionUID = 3578346542105360438L;
	
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	private long id;
	@OneToOne(mappedBy="some", orphanRemoval=true, cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
	private TestEntity test;
	
	public SomeEntity() {
	}

}

@Entity
public class TestEntity implements Serializable {
	private static final long serialVersionUID = -6118907654374792523L;
	
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	private long id;
	@OneToOne(optional=false)
	private SomeEntity some;
	
	public TestEntity() {
	}

}

Let's POST SomeEntity:

{
   "test": { }
}

Response:

{
	"id":101,
	"_relationships":[
		{
			"_link":{
				"href":"http://localhost:8080/app/persistence/pu/entity/SomeEntity/101/test",
				"rel":"test"
			}
		}
	]
}

Let's GET http://localhost:8080/app/persistence/pu/entity/SomeEntity/101/test: the response is '404 - Not Found', and the specified TestEntity is not created. I have also tried to add SomeEntity and TestEntity manually and then retrieving the TestEntity via the link, but even this way I get a 404.

What am I doing wrong? Is this related to weaving?

Quote:

Weaving is required for several features to work: providing relationships as links, editing relationships, and dealing with lazy x-1 relationships. Either deploy to a Java EE compliant server or statically weave your classes.

Lazy x-1 relationships are only supported when using the JPA RS default mapping strategy, which returns those mappings as links by using read-only mappings for the JSON/XML support and providing the links through a weaved attribute.

SOLVED

Updated everything to the newest nightly (03/05); also updated the javax.persistence jar. Now I get a different response for the POST and I am able to retrieve the entity:

{
	"id":401,
	"_relationships":[
		{
			"_link":{
				"href":"http://192.168.10.134:8080/timelapse/persistence/timelapse/entity/SomeEntity/401/test",
				"rel":"test"
			}
		}
	],
	"test":{
		"_link":{
			"href":"http://192.168.10.134:8080/timelapse/persistence/timelapse/entity/TestEntity/451",
			"method":"GET",
			"rel":"self"
		}
	}
}

Additional problem:

The relationship link only works right after POST, meaning that if I redeploy the application, it will not work anymore. The reason seems to be that the foreign key is not persisted to the database, it is always NULL.

Are you dropping and recreating tables during deployment ? Or are you doing any cascade delete elsewhere in your code ?

I have configured my persistence unit this way:

<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="create-tables" />

After you redeploy your application and before you make any REST calls, can you check the database to make sure that the relationships are still set the way you expected?

The relationship is corrupted before and after redeploy too! However the relationship link magically works before redeploy; I guess it is cached in the persistence unit, but not persisted to database.

So to use the terminology from my original example: If I check the contents of the TESTENTITY table, I can see that the related instance has been created, but it's foreign key SOME_ID is NULL.

Tested with:

EclipseLink 2.5.0 Nightly 20130312
EclipseLink 2.5.0 Nightly 20130313

Something like this should work and you should be able to see TEST_ID correctly populated in the SOMEENTITY table in the database:

@Entity
public class SomeEntity implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 3578346542105360438L;
    
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private long id;
    @OneToOne
    @JoinColumn(name="TEST_ID")
    private TestEntity test;
}

@Entity
public class TestEntity implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = -6118907654374792523L;
    
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue
    private long id;
    @OneToOne(mappedBy="test")
    private SomeEntity some;
}

Thanks, it works this way. However my entities are valid, so it should work too right?

EDIT: If I do it this way, than it does not work the other way around, meaning: I GET the related entity, and from there if I try to GET the relationship link of the owner, then I get 404. So for me it seems like bidirectional relationships do not work correctly at the moment.

To get one-to-one bidirectional relationship working (in JPA) with SomeEntity and TestEntity, you will need to modify your entities as I suggested.
