I'm getting a org.hibernate.TransientObjectException exception when persisting data using Texo generated Hibernate classes:

org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing: xxx.model.Agent
  #0: org.hibernate.engine.ForeignKeys.getEntityIdentifierIfNotUnsaved(ForeignKeys.java:243)
  #1: org.hibernate.type.EntityType.getIdentifier(EntityType.java:456)
  #2: org.hibernate.type.ManyToOneType.isDirty(ManyToOneType.java:265)
  #3: org.hibernate.type.ManyToOneType.isDirty(ManyToOneType.java:275)
  #4: org.hibernate.type.TypeHelper.findDirty(TypeHelper.java:295)
  #5: org.hibernate.persister.entity.AbstractEntityPersister.findDirty(AbstractEntityPersister.java:3403)
  #6: org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEntityEventListener.dirtyCheck(DefaultFlushEntityEventListener.java:520)
  #7: org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEntityEventListener.isUpdateNecessary(DefaultFlushEntityEventListener.java:230)
  #8: org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEntityEventListener.onFlushEntity(DefaultFlushEntityEventListener.java:154)
  #9: org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener.flushEntities(AbstractFlushingEventListener.java:219)
  #10: org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener.flushEverythingToExecutions(AbstractFlushingEventListener.java:99)
  #11: org.hibernate.event.def.DefaultFlushEventListener.onFlush(DefaultFlushEventListener.java:50)
  #12: org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.flush(SessionImpl.java:1216)
  #13: org.hibernate.impl.SessionImpl.managedFlush(SessionImpl.java:383)
  #14: org.hibernate.transaction.JDBCTransaction.commit(JDBCTransaction.java:133)
  #15: xxx.db.ModelManagerPersist.endTransaction(ModelManagerPersist.java:103)
  #16: xxx.asset.AssetManagerPersist.save(AssetManagerPersist.java:86)


This exception occurs when doing an endTransaction of a class called xxx.model.Asset which has many-to-one EReference to xxx.model.Agent. I have numerous other similar references in the Asset EClass which likely will have a similar exception problem, but this is the first one which hibernate hits.

I think this is a cascade issue, but the orm.xml generated by Texo seems to set cascade options:

      <orm:many-to-one name="agent" optional="true" target-entity="xxx.model.Agent">
        <orm:join-column/>
        <orm:cascade>
          <orm:cascade-persist/>
          <orm:cascade-merge/>
          <orm:cascade-refresh/>
        </orm:cascade>
      </orm:many-to-one>


All the transaction code worked fine using Teneo. I'm guessing it was doing a lot more heavy lifting under the covers than I knew.

Do I need to manually code a transaction to save each EReference EClass prior to saving the parent EClass?

Hmm, strange with these cascade settings this should not happen. What you can do is get the hibernate source and put a
breakpoint in hibernate to detect the refering object to check the orm.xml in more detail.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I'm not clear on what you are suggesting. Where in hibernate should I be set breakpoints? I've never had the pleasure of working at the source level of hibernate.

I'm stuck on this one so it's kinda important to resolve for me. Appreciate all your help!

Hi Mike,
The stack trace shows where the exception is thrown:
#0: org.hibernate.engine.ForeignKeys.getEntityIdentifierIfNotUnsaved(ForeignKeys.java:243)

So ForeignKeys class line 243.

The hibernate source is contained in the zip/tar.gz where you can download it.

Thanks Martin. I've traced the problem down to this:

Class: AbstractEntityTuplizer

	public Serializable getIdentifier(Object entity, SessionImplementor session) {
		final Object id;
		if ( entityMetamodel.getIdentifierProperty().isEmbedded() ) {
			id = entity;
		}
		else {
			if ( idGetter == null ) {
				if (identifierMapperType==null) {
					throw new HibernateException( "The class has no identifier property: " + getEntityName() );
				}
				else {
					id = mappedIdentifierValueMarshaller.getIdentifier( entity, getEntityMode(), session );
				}
			}
			else {
                id = idGetter.get( entity );
            }
        }

		try {
/* RETURNS null => */	return (Serializable) id;
		}


The "id" var is returned as null. Back up the stack this causes hibernate to mark the class as transient.

I'm definitely out of my depth at this point and not sure how to proceed. Do you think this is related to the texo generated orm.xml or some other texo generated file? Or is this likely to be something in my code or hibernate itself?

What's a good reference doc for the orm.xml syntax? Maybe I can dig around there.

Hi Mike,
I don't think it is a specific Texo problem (cascades have different meanings and there are pros/cons to different
settings in different situations). But maybe the mapping can be generated in such a way that this problem does not occur
directly, although afaics the orm.xml is fine.

Is this something I can easily try myself? If you can send me a zipped project directly by email with a testcase I can
run then I can try to reproduce this.

There is lots of info on jpa/orm on the internet. The spec is quite readable, specifically the part where the
annotations are explained, chapters 11 and 12 (see attached):
http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr220/index.html

I have it working now. If I manually edit orm.xml and replace all of the <orm:cascade-.../> entries with <orm:cascade-all/> it works fine. Looking back at how my code used Teneo prior to Texo I also set "cascade=all" so it makes sense now.

So how do I get Texo to use cascade-all instead of cascade-merge, etc? Should I file an enhencement/bug in bugzilla?

Cheers,
mike

Yes please do enter a bugzilla, I am surprised as persist, merge and refresh are the most common one, the other ones
(remove, refresh, detach) make less sense.If you enter a bugzilla then I will add refresh and detach, remove just does
not make sense for most many-to-ones...
