Consider the following scenarion (in my standalone fat client, so it is not using burst database changes): an entity is fetched from the database, then a change is made to the entity (making it actually invalid to be stored in the database) and then the entity is removed. Below is a small test case.

// entitymanagerfactory
EntityManagerFactory lEntityManagerFactory = ...

// entitymanager
EntityManager lEntityManager = lEntityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();

// emulate user entry
Article2Storage lArticle2Storage = Article2Storage.findByPK(229277);
lArticle2Storage.setArticle(null); // this is not allowed, a N-M record must have both keys
lEntityManager.remove(lArticle2Storage); // now remove it

// commit
lEntityManager.getTransaction().begin();
lEntityManager.getTransaction().commit();

// close shop
lEntityManager.close();
lEntityManagerFactory.close();


This results in the following exception:

As it turns out, even though entity has been removed, the change is still being persisted. I'm a bit uncertain about this. On the one hand I can imagine that Eclipselink simply keeps a list of changes and executes them. On the other hand, AFAIK that is not the case, but a copied model is created. If N-M entity was removed, there is no use in persisting it.

Even if I remove both key-entities, making the entity unreachable for persistence-via-relation, the exception remains:

// emulate user entry
Article2Storage lArticle2Storage = Article2Storage.findByPK(229277);
lArticle2Storage.setArticle(null);
lArticle2Storage.setStorage(null);
lEntityManager.remove(lArticle2Storage);

So the question: if an entity is removed, why are changes to it still persisted?

A small addition to why this scenario is happening: in my fat client, when a delete is made, the in-memory change is asynchronous from the database change.

That means that when the entity is removed in the JList or JTable, that is reflected in the underlying entities; in this case the article2storage is removed from the list in article, and the reference back (this is a two-way reference setup) is nullified. Now the JList is refreshed and the article2storage is gone. Later on, when the user presses "save", these changes are persisted.

The main reason for updating an object before deleting it is that this is
sometimes required. If your object has a constraint or dependency on
another object, if must be updated in order to be deleted. So, we must
allow an object to be updated before deletion.

In could be possible to make this a configurable option, so if you think
you never need to update an object being deleted run could set this
option, so you may wish to log an enhancement request for this. We do
already have the existing option "perform deletes first" which has a
similar effect. However, in general it is best if you do not change any
objects that you do not want updated, then you will have no issues.

I cannot force the user these constraints; he may first change an object, then delete it.

For now I have solve this using deferred constraints, but I'll try that perform delete first option.
