Hello friends,

I have a bidirectiion one-2-many relationship between A and B.

A is the ONE side, and B is the MANY side.

Now I add an instance of B (say b) into database.

B b = new B();
b.setA(a); // suppose that I've already had an A instance.
session.persist(b); // surround this code I've opened a transaction

Outside this transaction, I open a new one then use
a.getBs(); // the same a in database
to fetch all related B, but I cannot get the set that contains the new added object b.

I also tested that, if I explicitly set a.getBs().add(b); then the result seems right.

But I'm wondering that, when I persist(b), all the relations have been saved in database, but it seems that the cache not refreshed, this case leads a.getBs() cannot get the new added b, because:

1. no database query performed
2. the cache has not been refreshed automatically or manually

So can anyone tell if this is a bug or the common behavior of EclipseLink? Because Hibernate may work OK without manually add b to a, because A is the master side.

Thank you for help!

In JPA you must always add to both sides of the relationship, otherwise
the objects will be out of synch.

Technically you could refresh the object, or disable caching, and see the
relationship from the database, as the ManyToOne does the writing, but
best to ensure your object model is not corrupt.

Hibernate does not cache by default, so if you created a new EntityManager
you would read from the database. EclipseLink does cache by default, so
you read from the cache. If you use the same EntityManager, even in
Hibernate or without caching your relationship would be empty.

To disable caching see,
