Re: [eclipselink-users] EntityManager.remove does not remove entity from cache

Yes, I thought that might be the answer. But, the implementation seems odd. JPA doesn't provide magic for this, but it is deleted from the database, however the cache is maintained in a stale state. It seems to me that either it should not be deleted from the database or it should be removed from the cache.

Hi Mike,

You need to sever the relationship between an A and a B before you remove B. JPA does not provide any magic for this.

I have the following enitiy map:
A->B->C (where -> represents a OneToMany relationship)

If I do a EntityManager.remove on a B, a following Query (select all) will still return that entity, even though it has been removed from the database.

Any ideas on the proper way to handle this?

Here's some code illustrating the issue:
   EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
   Query q = em.createQuery("select a FROM A a");
   List<A> as = q.getResultList();
   em.clear();
   em.close();
   System.out.println(as.get(0).getChildren().size()); // output is 2
     B b = as.get(0).getChildren().get(0);
     em = emf.createEntityManager();
   em.getTransaction().begin();
   B bm = em.merge(b);
   em.remove(bm);
em.getTransaction().commit(); // successfully removes B and children from database
   em.clear();
   em.close();

   em = emf.createEntityManager();
   q = em.createQuery("select a FROM A a");
   as = q.getResultList();
   em.clear();
   em.close();
   System.out.println(as.get(0).getChildren().size()); // output is 2
     em = emf.createEntityManager();
   q = em.createQuery("select a FROM A a");
((ReadAllQuery)((EJBQueryImpl)q).getDatabaseQuery()).refreshIdentityMapResult();
   as = q.getResultList();
   em.clear();
   em.close();
   System.out.println(as.get(0).getChildren().size()); // output is 1


Thanks,
Mike
