Re: [eclipselink-users] re move() and a OneToMany mapping with CascadeType.PERSIST
|
I have no problem removing all references to an entity which has to be
removed.
What I am trying to point out is that EclipseLink behaves strangely in
a special case:
It makes a difference for EclipseLink if I remove the reference(s) by
setting the OneToMany-IndirectSet to null (this will work) or if I
call clear() on the IndirectSet (which won't work in case of the
cascade types exactly set to CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE).
Zitat von James Sutherland <jamesssss@xxxxxxxxx>:
Before you remove and object you must ensure that you remove all references
to it. Otherwise you are corrupting your object model. Normally you would
get a constraint error if you tried to delete something that had references,
but it depends on the constraint direction.
Before removing B you must remove it from A's collection of Bs (and all
other object that reference B).
The cascade persist in JPA is required by the JPA spec to re-persist removed
objects (odd but true). But not removing the reference to your removed
object is wrong and will corrupt your object model irregardless of the JPA
issue, so you need to remove its references.
If you removed the cascade persist, the object would not get re-persisted
(but you object would still be corrupt).
EclipseLink does provide some persistence unit properties that control this
behavior,
"eclipselink.persistence-context.persist-on-commit"="false" - will avoid the
auto persist on commit
"eclipselink.persistence-context.commit-without-persist-rules"="true" - may
resolve the issue

Should I open a bug report?
Thank you and best regards,

In case 1, can you try the following:
// initially a.getBs() will be a set containing one value
em.remove(B);
a.setAttr(somevalue);
a.setBs(null);
In this case I think B should be removed.
Can you please try this and post the behavior you observe?

Subject: Re: [eclipselink-users] remove() and a OneToMany mapping with
CascadeType.PERSIST
I'd like to add some additional information:
When adding the CascadeType.REFRESH to the OneToMany mapping,
the described "behavior" cannot be seen anymore:
@OneToMany(mappedBy="gtrAnnTaxStmt_",
cascade = { CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE,
CascadeType.REFRESH })
private Set bSet_;

Zitat von patric@xxxxxxxxxxx:
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding the importance of a remove() against a
cascade persist mapping.
Imagine a simple parent-child situation reflecting an 1:N cardinality:
Entity class A is the parent, entity class B the child.
A defines a OneToMany mapping to B:
@OneToMany(mappedBy="a_",
cascade={CascadeType.PERSIST, CascadeType.MERGE} )
private Set bSet_;
In the following example one A instance references to exactly one B
instance.
Both are already persisted to the database and will be read after
the begin of the transaction.
Case #1:
When calling em.remove(B) and changing A followed by a commit, some
strange behavior can be seen:
B will not be removed.
It seems that the change to A causes that cascade persist will cause
a silent 'undeletion' of B.
(which happens during changeset calculation on commit)
Case #2:
When not changing A everything works expected and B will be removed.
My questions:
1. Are both cases intentional behavior?
I would expect that the explicit remove() should override the
implicit cascade persist in either cases.
2. Is there a a workaround that a remove() will be respect with
higher priority(beside removing the cascade on the mapping)?
Thank you and best regards,
Patric
