Re: [eclipselink-dev] questions while running JPA JUnit tests
|
Hi Dies,
Sorry not to have gotten back to you at the end of the week last week - last
week things were very busy around here.
I am hesitant to go down the "static session" path until we have fully
explored the transaction route. Building a "static session" into our schema
generator in a reasonable way will be fairly involved.
I think we need to figure out the details of what we are allowed to do and
what we are not allowed to do and then figure out where the test framework
causes issues with these assumptions.
As I understand the information you have provided in the past, there are
several categories of statements that have different rules in Symfoware:
1. CREATE TABLE
2. DROP TABLE
3. DML (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE)
4. Temporary tables
For each of these there are several possible behaviors
1. No Effect on permissions for later statements
2. Transactional - If wrapped in a transaction, does not affect permissions
after transaction is committed. Can exist in the same transaction as other
types of statments.
3. Transactional (exclusive) - same as above, but needs its own transaction
4. Connection-Local - Later statements that affect the same table must be in the
same connection
5. Connection must be closed before later statement can affect the same table
A definitive answer about what constraints we are trying to meet for each of
these scenarios will help us. Is there a good way to get that. When we have a
definitive answer, we can so some analysis of the test issues you are seeing to
see if there are easy ways we can make the test framework behave in the way
Symfoware expects.
A few other comments:
- Andrei Ilitchev send a link about temp tables in Symfoware that contained some
keywords like: "LOCAL TEMPORARY". It is hard for us to understand alot of the
docs we find for symfoware in the internet since they seem to be in Japanese. Is
that keyword a valid one. It seems counter-intuitive to allow something called a
temporary table and then not be allowed to create it and insert into in the same
transaction.
- Is it the first access to a temporary table that fails, or does the first one
succeed and a later one fails?
- TableSpace: Do all tables need a tablespace, or just temporary tables? Are
you also getting an issue with our normal table creation?
- You mentioned earlier you tried to experiment with the connection pool
settings. Remind me what your results are when you set the settings in the test
persistence xmls to have a MIN and MAX of 1.
- Update and Delete all statements are defined in the JPA 1.0 specification in
the JPQL. e.g. Delete from Employee e where e.salary > 100000
- The types of statements that require Temporary tables are fairly limited.
(Andrei can probably give a better comment, but I think they are the same ones
that we rewrite to use a subquery and that were causing issues in your test
because the subquery refers to the same table as the outer query.) If we log
this issue as a limitation, I do not think this would get in the way of
certification.

Hi Tom,

I might have reached the limit of this success already.
I can do a full run again (no hangs), with a success rate of 57.90%
(highest so far!), 56 failures and 495 errors.
The main errors/failures I see are due to:
- table locked issue (still)
- temporary table issue
I'm not sure why, but I see a certain table (for example CMP3_DEPT)
being dropped/created and successfully used, then it tries to drop and
recreate it, but the drop failed because the table's locked by another
user. This exception then prevents other tables from being created,
leading to other failures (like table not found).
From the log I can see the create and drop statements were executed in
transactions. Even the DML to it seems to all use transactions.
I don't know if it means anything to you, but the logged numeric id of
the connection when it failed was the same as when the table was
successfully created earlier, but the id of the connection used for the
DML was different.
I'd like to try the other idea you had with a static session. Could you
give more information?
I suppose I can swap it in in the locations where I now begin/commit the
transactions?
Can this static session use (unpooled) connections that can be closed at
"commit" time?
Did you take a look at any of the other calls to
shouldWriteToDatabase()? Will they require transactions as well?
Yes I did.
They don't require transactions for Symfoware because they relate to
creating/dropping constraints using ALTER TABLE (a syntax Symfoware does
not support) and to altering sequences (again, not supported by Symfoware).
With global temporary tables implemented, creation of the table goes
fine, but the following INSERT fails because the table is "locked".
I'm not sure if I can (or should) put this table's create statement
in a transaction, I suppose this whole query could already be running
in a transaction.
I am surprised that Delete All and Update All queries are not running
in transactions already. Maybe we should try to isolate a sequence of
Note that a "Delete All" consists of the following statements (at least
in the tests that I saw failing):
1. creation of the global table
2. insert some rows
3. select some rows
4. drop the global table (or delete * from the table, depending on
whether local temporary tables are used).
All of this might be in one transaction, but the issue with Symfoware
was that DDL and DML can't be in the same transaction, so 1. needs to
run in a transaction and commit, then 2. and 3. in a new transaction,
then 4. (even putting just 1. and 4. in transactions does not seem to
help as 2. and 3. lock the table)
These statements are created and added to a Vector, and I'm not sure
where and how these statements are executed (so I could add the
demarcations between them). I am hoping Andrei will have a good
suggestion. Or a better solution.
tests that cause the failure... (i.e. Does the first Delete all or
Update All fail? Or, is the temporary table already created by
another Delete all or Update all? Do we see the initial create
demarked by transactions? Is there an error in the initial create
that causes issues?)
The temporary table seems to have been created successfully. Here is the

Another issue with Symfoware's temporary tables is that the table
space name for the table must be specified at creation time. It does
not default to the table space that creation of normal tables default
to. So we'd need a way for the user to define this table space.
There is a table passed into the writeCreateTempTableSql() method.
Can we use the table space from that table?
I would like it to use that table's table space, but I don't know how to
find out dynamically what table space that is using. (I am currently
hard-coding it for now)
Symfoware V10 (coming out soon) has a new "DEFAULT TABLESPACE" option
that I can specify. I'm not sure how it works, but there is also a new
CREATE DEFAULT TABLESPACE DDL statement, that I suppose it works with.
So I could specify that and inform the user to prepare a default
tablespace, but in that case I need to explain in the Wiki which kind of
JPA functions require it.
Also, except for the table space I need to specify the number of
concurrent users that will use it. Is my understanding correct that
these tables are used within a transaction, so they will never be
accessed by multiple users?
In what cases are updateAll/deleteAll required exactly? Are they
related to JPA 2.0 functions? Are they required for JPA 1.0
functionality too?
UpdateAll and DeleteAll are both JPA 1.0 features and covered in the
JPA 1.0 TCK.
The spec does not use this terminology. Is it equivalent to an UPDATE or
DELETE statement with no WHERE clause? Or an UPDATE/DELETE statement for
an entity which has a particular relationship with other entities?
As I see no clean solution I wonder what the impact is of making this
a limitation for this platform for now.
Have you looked into Andrei's suggestion of Local temporary tables.
Yes, unfortunately it did not help.
From an EclipseLink point of view, that is a possibility. It is just
a matter of figuring out what that means to you from a TCK point of view?
No, more of a JPA1.0 /TLE point of view.
I've based this Symfoware platform class on the Symfoware platform my
team developed for TLE. I cannot remember encountering this issue at the
time. If there is a chance the same problem would occur on TLE (using
JPA 1.0 functionality, not TLE/Toplink's additional stuff), I'd like to
know the impact to Symfoware users of that implementation.
But also from a JPA 1.0/2.0 (=TCK?) point of view: to what extend is the
platform still usable without this function? If it only affects a
certain type of update/delete queries, and the range of functions that
is affected can be determined and clearly explained (from a user's point
of view), then I'd like to consider giving up on this and focus on other
functions.
Unless it is a condition to ever get the Symfoware platform graduated
from incubation (is it?), I'm not thinking of TCK certification at this
time.
If I no longer run into locking issues, what will the final solution
look like? Can I add a method createObjectsInTransactions() to the DB
platforms, defaulting to false of course, true for Symfoware, that
begins/commits/rolls back transactions in the locations I described
above?
That is likely the best way to address this. We could tweak the
method name a bit, and of course, check the other calls for
shouldWriteToDatabase() to see if they needed to be transactional as
well.
Ah, you don't like the method name. ;)
Well lucky for us the final solution will be different.
I won't propose createObjectsInStaticSession(). ;-p

Hi Tom,
I am trying to enclose DDL calls with transactions. Inside
schemaManager.createSequences() there are mixed DDL and DML (select
and inserts on the sequence table/object), so just I'm moving the
transaction calls deeper into the call stack.
The locking error I get now is from the SELECT statement on table
CMP3_ENTITYB_SEQ in the following call in SchemaManager#createObject.
databaseObjectDefinition.createOnDatabase(getSession());
I did put a getSession().beginTransaction(); before this call, so
I'm not sure yet what the problem is. I'll investigate a bit more
and let you know.
Thanks,

The idea is that we would add calls that begin and commit
transactions around table creation calls.
Lets see if it works before we design the final solution:
- Find the
org.eclipse.persistence.tools.schemaframework.TableCreator.replaceTables(session,
schemaManager) method
- Add transactional boundaries
