Hello,
I'm having difficulty deleting child objects on a merge call. I have a
parent object, Lab, which contains a list of Contacts:

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------

<xsd:complexType name="Lab">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo source="teneo.jpa">
@Entity
@Table(
name="LabTable"
)
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>

<xsd:sequence>

<!--lots of irrelevent stuff--->

<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="contactList"
type="Contact">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo source="teneo.jpa">
@OneToMany(indexed=false)
@JoinColumn(name="LAB_SK", nullable=false)
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>



<xsd:complexType name="Contact">

<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo source="teneo.jpa">
@Entity
@Table(
name="ContactTable"
)
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element default="0" name="contactSK" type="xsd:int">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:appinfo source="teneo.jpa">
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=SEQUENCE, generator="labSequence")
@Column(name=Contact_SK,nullable="false",updatable=false)
</xsd:appinfo>
</xsd:annotation>
</xsd:element>


<!--lots of irrelevent stuff--->


</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------

The Lab is loaded by a client via a web service, so it is completely
serialized and deserialized before it comes back into the system as a
detatched object. The client has monkeyed with the data he pulled down, and
occasionally removes a contact from the contactList. To handle the incoming
changes, I'm using the hibernate merge method:


------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------
//bunch of deserialization code

outputLab = (Lab)session.merge(inputLab)

//bunch of serialization code
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------

Beautifully simple, and works as advertised. My problem is that when
hibernate removes a row from the ContactTable, it nulls out the foreign key
first (summarized SQL):

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------

--bunch of selects
update LabTable set lab_sk=null where lab_sk=? and contact_sk=?
delete from ContactTable where contact_sk=?

------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------


This causes a foreign key not null constraint violation. I have "fixed" the
issue by asking the DBA to drop the not null constraints for the moment
(then repremanding myself sternly for even suggesting the idea), but would
like hibernate to please just delete the row without nulling it.

It appears that the standard hibernate way to do this is to add an
'inverse="true"' to the oneToMany:

http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2383090

but I can't figure out how to get a Teneo annotation to do that.

Any thoughts or ideas? Is this the right approach?

Thanks,

-Alex

Hi Alex,
I am not sure that I understand the relational schema, but maybe I am missing something.

When removing the contact the following sql is executed:
> update LabTable set lab_sk=null where lab_sk=? and contact_sk=?
> delete from ContactTable where contact_sk=?

But why is there a contact_sk column in the LabTable as this is the table containing the Lab
instances? And why is it nulling the lab_sk while this is the pk of the LabTable (afaics).
As the Contact is contained by the Lab, I would expect a fk from ContactTable to LabTable.

Hi Martin,
I apologize, you are correct, when I translated the SQL from our own
incomprehensible table names I made a mistake, the summarized sql should
look like this:

update ContactTable set lab_sk=null where lab_sk=? and contact_sk=?
delete from ContactTable where contact_sk=?

The behavior I'd like is simply:

delete from ContactTable where contact_sk=?


The generated hibernate mapping for the list might help too:

<bag name="contactList" lazy="true" cascade="all,delete-orphan">
<key update="true" foreign-key="lab_contactlist">
<column name="lab_sk" not-null="true" unique="false"/>
</key>
<one-to-many entity-name="Contact"/>
</bag>


The hibernate discussion forums seem to say that adding 'inverse="true"':

<bag name="contactList" lazy="true" cascade="all,delete-orphan"
inverse="true">
<key update="true" foreign-key="lab_contactlist">
<column name="lab_sk" not-null="true" unique="false"/>
</key>
<one-to-many entity-name="Contact"/>
</bag>

will allow this. I'm curious if you think that is correct and if so, how to
get teneo to do that?

Thanks for all your help!

-Alex

Hi Alex,
I understand what you mean. However, teneo on purpose does not set inverse=true because
bidirectional relations are handled by emf and if hibernate also handles bi-directional relations
then it does not work well. I re-tested this yesterday and many of my testcases fail if I add
inverse=true. So I will need to look in more detail at this.

Can you enter a bugzilla for this? Then I can take some more time to look at it.

I am on holiday, so I can't spend to much time on this, this week.

Hi Martin,
I apologize for being three months late with this, but this has recently
become an issue for us again. I've created a bug and submitted it:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=242479


Thanks!

Hi Alex,
No problem, I have seen the bugzilla. I will probably add an annotation attribute on the one-to-many
or many-to-one to signal that inverse=true should be put in the mapping. I hope to solve this and
some other issues around this weekend.

Btw, support for Teneo is now given on the EMF newsgroup which I cc-ed.

Hi Alex,
I am not sure that I understand the relational schema, but maybe I am missing something.

When removing the contact the following sql is executed:
> update LabTable set lab_sk=null where lab_sk=? and contact_sk=?
> delete from ContactTable where contact_sk=?

But why is there a contact_sk column in the LabTable as this is the table containing the Lab
instances? And why is it nulling the lab_sk while this is the pk of the LabTable (afaics).
As the Contact is contained by the Lab, I would expect a fk from ContactTable to LabTable.

Hi Martin,
I apologize, you are correct, when I translated the SQL from our own
incomprehensible table names I made a mistake, the summarized sql should
look like this:

update ContactTable set lab_sk=null where lab_sk=? and contact_sk=?
delete from ContactTable where contact_sk=?

The behavior I'd like is simply:

delete from ContactTable where contact_sk=?


The generated hibernate mapping for the list might help too:

<bag name="contactList" lazy="true" cascade="all,delete-orphan">
<key update="true" foreign-key="lab_contactlist">
<column name="lab_sk" not-null="true" unique="false"/>
</key>
<one-to-many entity-name="Contact"/>
</bag>


The hibernate discussion forums seem to say that adding 'inverse="true"':

<bag name="contactList" lazy="true" cascade="all,delete-orphan"
inverse="true">
<key update="true" foreign-key="lab_contactlist">
<column name="lab_sk" not-null="true" unique="false"/>
</key>
<one-to-many entity-name="Contact"/>
</bag>

will allow this. I'm curious if you think that is correct and if so, how to
get teneo to do that?

Thanks for all your help!

-Alex

Hi Alex,
I understand what you mean. However, teneo on purpose does not set inverse=true because
bidirectional relations are handled by emf and if hibernate also handles bi-directional relations
then it does not work well. I re-tested this yesterday and many of my testcases fail if I add
inverse=true. So I will need to look in more detail at this.

Can you enter a bugzilla for this? Then I can take some more time to look at it.

I am on holiday, so I can't spend to much time on this, this week.

Hi Martin,
I apologize for being three months late with this, but this has recently
become an issue for us again. I've created a bug and submitted it:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=242479


Thanks!

Hi Alex,
No problem, I have seen the bugzilla. I will probably add an annotation attribute on the one-to-many
or many-to-one to signal that inverse=true should be put in the mapping. I hope to solve this and
some other issues around this weekend.

Btw, support for Teneo is now given on the EMF newsgroup which I cc-ed.
