Any suggestions and ideas how to solve this ?
 
 
While posting I missed one the fields for this class:
class PD {
 
long id;
 
String name;
@ManyToOne
*private* PDMap dMap;
@Converter
(name="mapConverter", 
converterClass=StringMapJsonSerializedObjectConverter.*class*)
@Convert("mapConverter")
Map<String, Object> map = *new* HashMap<String, Object>();
 
}

    Hi All,
     
    I have the following Mappings:
     
    class MyPref {
     
    long id;
    @OneToOne
    (cascade=CascadeType./ALL/, fetch=FetchType./EAGER/)
    **PDMap attributes = *new* PDMap();
    }
     
    class PDMap {
     
    long id;
    @OneToMany
    (mappedBy="dMap", cascade=CascadeType./ALL/, fetch=FetchType./EAGER/)
    @MapKey(name="name")
    Map<String, PD>
    mapOfMaps = *new* HashMap<String, PD>();
    }
     
    table PD
    class PD {
     
    long id;
    @ManyToOne
    *private* PDMap dMap;
    @Converter
    (name="mapConverter",
    converterClass=StringMapJsonSerializedObjectConverter.*class*)
    @Convert("mapConverter")
    Map<String, Object> map = *new* HashMap<String, Object>();
     
    }
     
    I am trying to do the following .
     
    first time I insert into the entities using the key "ui" for PDMap
    and the key "recentprojs" for the PD's map.
     
    PDMap looks like this
    id , creationdate, lastupdatedate
    1 , date, date
     
    table PD looks like this:
    id, name, map dmap_id
    1, "ui", {"recentprojs":"11"}, 1
     
    next time when I retreive the same row using
     
    myPref.getAttribute("ui","recentprojs"); i get the right row.
     
    now I am trying to update that entry to something like this:
     
    myPref.setAttribute("ui","recentprojs", "11,9");
    em.merge(myPref)
     
    so that PD table look like this:
    id, name, map dmap_id
    1, "ui", {"recentprojs":"11,9"}, 1
     
    and PDMap updates the respective dates,
     
     
    but since I am updating the value for the same key its not detecting
    any changes and no updates happen to the tables... why is this ?
     
    but when I change the it to something like this :
    userPref.setAttribute("ui_1","recentproj", "11,9"); a new record
    gets inserted in PD table but no update to the dates in PDMap table. 
     
    but What I want to achieve is update the same row with the
    new/updated values, how can I do this , and what is happening here..
    Appreciate Any suggestiongs and ideas ?
     
    Thank you!
     
    Phil
