I have a POJO mapped with
Hibernate for persistence. In my mapping I specify the following:
<class name="ExpertiseArea">
<id name="id" type="string">
<generator class="assigned" />
</id>
<version name="version" column="VERSION" unsaved-value="null" />
<property name="name" type="string" unique="true" not-null="true" length="100" />
...
</class>
And I want to test that if I set a name longer than 100 characters, the change won't be persisted. I have a DAO where I save the entity with the following code:
public T makePersistent(T entity){
transaction = getSession().beginTransaction();
transaction.begin();
try{
getSession().saveOrUpdate(entity);
transaction.commit();
}catch(HibernateException e){
logger.debug(e.getMessage());
transaction.rollback();
}
return entity;
}
Actually the code above is from a GenericDAO which all my DAOs inherit from. Then I created the following test:
public void testNameLengthMustBe100orLess(){
ExpertiseArea ea = new ExpertiseArea(
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890" +
"1234567890");
assertTrue("Name should be 100 characters long", ea.getName().length() == 100);
ead.makePersistent(ea);
List<ExpertiseArea> result = ead.findAll();
assertEquals("Size must be 1", result.size(),1);
ea.setName(ea.getName()+"1234567890");
ead.makePersistent(ea);
ExpertiseArea retrieved = ead.findById(ea.getId(), false);
assertTrue("Both objects should be equal", retrieved.equals(ea));
assertTrue("Name should be 100 characters long", (retrieved.getName().length() == 100));
}
The object is persisted ok. Then I set a name longer than 100 characters and try to save the changes, which fails:
14:12:14,608 INFO StringType:162 - could not bind value '12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890' to parameter: 2; data exception: string data, right truncation

That's expected behavior. However when I retrieve the persisted object to check if its name is still 100 characters long, the test fails.
The way I see it, the retrieved object should have a name that is 100 characters long, given that the attempted update failed. The last assertion fails because the name is 110 characters long now, as if the ea instance was indeed updated.
What am I doing wrong here?
