Implementing post merge events [message #907981]

Hi,
Getting a crash when trying to implement post merge event. My application defines a custom annotation to maintain a cache on the client side. The application is also implementing a post merge event so that some transient data in each entity can be merge post persist or post merge calls. The event listener class is defines using the annotation @EntityListeners(value = {MyEventListener.class}) for each of the entities. When the application calls getAnnotation() method on the same entity to get the custom annotation the client crashes with the stack trace shown below -

Note that this crash only happens when I define the @EntityListeners. If I comment this out everything works fine. It looks an issue with reflection. Is their any other jar file besides eclipselink and jpa 2.0 that needs to be included to implement postmerge events ?. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Searching for the error suggests that the problem is that the MyEventListener.class isn't available to the classloader for the code that is looking for your annotations. Check that the class is available possibly in the same jar as your entities. If that doesn't help, try removing your custom annotations and see if it works if loaded just through the persistence unit.

Best Regards,
Chris

Still getting the crash. I think you are correct that the class loader is not able to find the MyEventListner class, just cant figure out why. I forgot to mention that when the application is run through the Netbeans debugger everything works fine. There is no crash. Only when running the client outside the debugger the application crashes.

Here is the pseudo-code

Entity.java
------------
@MyCustomAnnotation(classes = {MyCache.class})
@Entity
@EntityListeners(value = {MyEventListener.class}) 
@Table(name = "myTable")
public class Entity {

	public void postMerge() {
		//Do something
	}

}
MyEventListener.java
----------------------------
public class MyEventListener extends DescriptorEventAdapter {
    @Override
    public void postMerge(DescriptorEvent event) {
		//Object origObject = event.getOriginalObject();
		//Object srcObject = event.getObject();
		//srcObject.postMerge()
	}
}

DataCache.java
--------------
@Override
public void initializeInternalListeners() {
		Class klass = SerializableEntity.getClassForEntityType(i, false);
		if (klass != null) {
		 try {
			MyCustomAnnotation annoKlass = (MyCustomAnnotation)klass.getAnnotation(MyCustomAnnotation.class);
			if (annoKlass != null) {
				Class dependentClasses[] = annoKlass.classes();
				for (Class depklass : dependentClasses) {
					addInternalListenerDependency(depklass, klass);
				}
			}
			} catch(Exception e) {
				LoggingUtil.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, "kclass name " + klass.getSimpleName());
				LoggingUtil.getLogger().log(Level.INFO, "Caught exception in initializeInternalListeners", e);
			}
		}
	}
}

Tried the following -
1. The event listner class is in the same jar as the entities.
2. Changed the position of the custom and eventlistner annotation.
3. Removed the custom annotation and it still crashed as the getAnnotation() call.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks for your help.
