Hi All,
I have this strange problem. In a J2ee webapp with spring, smartgwt and hibernate, it happens that I have a class A wich has a set of class B, both of them mapped to table A and table B.
I wrote a simple test case for testing the service manager which is supposed to do insert, update, delete and everything work as expected especially during insert. In the end I have one record in A and records in B with foreign key to A.
But when I try to call the service from the web app, the entity in B are saved without a foreign key reference.
I am sure that the service is the same. One thing I noticed is that enabling hibernate logging, seems that when the service is called from the application, one more update is made:
insert A
insert B
update A
update B
update B (foreign key only)
update A <--- ???
update B <--- ???
Instead, when junit test case is run, the update is as follows:
insert A
insert B
update A
update B
update B (foreign key only)
I suppose the latest update is what is causing the erroe, maybe it is overwriting values.
Considering that the app is using spring, with the well known mechanism of DAO + Manager, where can I investigate to solve this issue ? Someone told me that the session is not closed, so hibernate would do one more update before release the objects by itself.
I am pretty sure that all the configuration hbm, xml, and the rest are fine...but I maybe wrong.
thanks
