Hi Chris!
Nope! Even if I'm now fully cleaning the in-memory model by
removing any reference to the 'first' instance I'm deleting, today
my production environment again threw an exception because of the
usual foreign key constraint check failure :-(
Now I'm really out of ideas...
I'll try to dump the whole production data and install it on test
to see if the very specific data structure is the key to
reproduce...

Hello Mauro,
I mistyped when I wrote cascade remove - I meant to write cascade
merge or cascade persist. Any references to 'first' could be
causing it to be resurrected, not just ones from the 'second'
instance's object graph. I also noticed you are using cascade
refresh and lazy relationships - refresh of the referenced entity
over a lazy reference will be delayed until it is accessed,
potentially wiping out changes made so far. Something that causes
a refresh of firstCollection for instance might get triggered
after the remove call but before the flush, and cause
firstCollection to still reference first and cause its
resurrection in the persistence unit. I would detail all the
references in your object model to the 'first' class and check
that one isn't interfering.
If you haven't already, I'd recommend turning on EclipseLink
logging and matching statements up to the calls in your code
causing them, and trying to determine what is different when the
issue occurs vs when it doesn't. You might also try delaying or
removing the constraint, so that you can see if EclipseLink
eventually issues the delete so we can see if it is just an
ordering issue or if it never does, and so is a resurrection issue
in the application references as mentioned before.
Best of luck,
Chris
You should turn on logging to see the statements executed in
relation to your calls, and possibly relax the

Hi Chris,
thank you for your help.
Actually, all the mentioned code is executed within the same
transactional method body. No data change is performed before.
firstCollection is obtained directly from first.getFirstCollection() .
Between this call and the removal of first there are only
other getters calls (which return other related entities that
are not modified):
first.getFoo()
firstCollection.getBar()
first.getSomethingElse()
Then, after the deletion of second , and before
the query, there's nothing.
The First entity is certainly not referenced by
Second , nor by any remove-cascaded entity related
to Second (it was an explicit design choice).
In the actual code I'm using Spring Data JPA to perform
deletions and queries, but I don't think it should matter.
What I may try to do is to clear the reference between first
and second before applying deletions, something like:
Second second = first.getSecond() ;
first.setSecond(null);
entityManager.remove(first);
entityManager.remove(second);
but it's a shot in the dark. Also, I'm not sure what the
"lesson learnt" should be, in order to avoid this problem in
the future...
Thanks again,
Mauro

Hello Mauro,
Is there anything else that might reference the first
instance? Could the
firstCollection. getFirsts().remove(first)
change be being done on an unmanaged instance so that the
FirstCollection instance still references the first instance
in the context?
This sometimes happens if you have something left in your
object model still referencing the first instance with a
relationship marked cascade remove or cascade persist, causing
the traversal of the object model to 'undo' the remove call.
This may be inconsistent due to lazily fetched relationships,
and how the traversal of the model discovers unmanaged
instances.
Best Regards,
Chris

Hello,
I have the following problem that puzzles me.
I have an entity, let's call it First, which references
another entity, let's call it Second.
The relationship is this:
@Entity
public class First {
// ...
@OneToOne(
cascade = { CascadeType.DETACH,
CascadeType.PERSIST,
CascadeType.REFRESH },
fetch = FetchType.LAZY,
optional = false,
orphanRemoval = false)
private Second second;
}
The relationship is unidirectional, i.e. there's no
@OneToOne relationship mapped in Second towards First.
First also has a @ManyToOne relationship towards a
FirstCollection entity. I don't think it should matter at
all, but I say it for completeness.
Then I have some code that takes a First instance (let's
call it "first") and does some things like:
FirstCollection firstCollection =
first.getFirstCollection();
// do some read-only operations on first
// remove first from the FirstCollection
related entities
firstCollection.getFirsts().remove(first);
// delete first
entityManager.remove(first);
// delete the related second instance
entityManager.remove(first.getSecond());
// perform a read query on an entity related to
first
When the last step is executed, a flush before the execution
of the read query is performed; I see something like this in
the stack trace:
at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.EntityManagerImpl.flush(EntityManagerImpl.java:879)
at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.QueryImpl.performPreQueryFlush(QueryImpl.java:967)
at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.QueryImpl.executeReadQuery(QueryImpl.java:207)
The problem is that this lfush seems to perform the deletion
of second (together with some of its cascaded deleted
entities) BEFORE the deletion of First. I mean, the log
shows a call to DELETE on the Second table, but no previous
delete on the First table. This causes a foreign key
constraint failure.
This seems to happen only sometimes. My question is:
- how is it possible? I'm calling remove on First before
calling remove on Second!
- how to avoid this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Mauro
