Re: [eclipselink-users] Unable to implement update for existing source o

[Rohit Banga <rohit.banga@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Just to add
I have attached some sample code. In the code I am having a relationship between the employee and phone tables as well but that should not make a difference.

I am using the following documentation:
1. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Using_Basic_Unit_of_Work_API_%28ELUG%29#Associating_an_Existing_Source_to_an_Existing_Target_Object
2. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Using_Advanced_Unit_of_Work_API_%28ELUG%29#How_to_Force_a_Version_Field_Update

The first one talks about the scenario that I am trying to implement. I don't see any significant differences in my implementation. Moreover the second page mentions that
"when a relationship is changed in a one-to-many or one-to-one target foreign key mapping, by default, the version field (if any) of the affected object is not changed"

I am unable to correlate the information contained in the two links. Could you please help me understand it?

Thanks

Hi Tom,

1. Yes I am invoking commit on UnitOfWork. I have set the log level to FINEST for the UnitOfWork. The SQL does not show up in the logs. The tables are hence not updated. The unit of work is in the end after printing the changes.
If I try to modify any direct to field mapping for the employee then that does show up in the change set. But if eclipselink calculates the changeset piecemeal (does it?), then like you said the change in the the one-to-many mapping may not show up in the changeset.


2. By modification of the list I meant:

List<DynamicEntity> empList = (DynamicEntity) dep.get("empinfo.depinfo");
empList.add(emp);

The introduction of the above code does not work. I am not even sure if the relationship on the other side "must" or "need not" be modified.

3. Yes I have the same mappings. Sorry I did not make it clear in the original question.

Department to Employee - one to many. 
Employee to Department - one to one.
The employee table has a foreign key constraint - depid.
join attribute is "empinfo.depinfo" for both the mappings.

Hi Rohit,

   Do you actually commit your UnitOfWork?  i.e. are you seeing the problem at 
commit time through the absence of SQL, or are you simply getting the change set 
prior to commit?  If you are getting the change set prior to commit, the changes 
may simply not have been calculated yet.

   What do you mean by: "I have also tried to populate the list corresponding to 
the employees of  department 1010, but even that does not work."

   Please show where your unitOfWork.commit() calls are in the code you have 
included.

   Also, I assume these are the same mappings as you have shown in previous 
postings?

  Hi All

I have two tables

1. Employee (id, name, depid)
2. Department (depid, depname)

I have created employee and department dynamic types. I have a OneToMany 
relationship between the department and employee types.

I have to update the department of an employee. I am using the following 
code:

DynamicEntity emp = helper.newDynamicEntity(empBuilder.getType().getName());
emp.set("id", 147);
emp = (DynamicEntity) unitOfWork.readObject(emp);

DynamicEntity dep = helper.newDynamicEntity(depBuilder.getType().getName());
dep.set("depid", 1010);
dep = (DynamicEntity) unitOfWork.readObject(dep);

emp.set("empinfo.depinfo", dep);


However this does not update the depid for the employee row. The change 
is not present in the change set for the unit of work.

The unit of work that I have acquired from the session does not contain 
any objects before the readObject calls in the code above.

*Can you please tell me what is wrong with the above code?*

I have also tried to populate the list corresponding to the employees of 
department 1010, but even that does not work.

*Is it mandatory to update the list or is it sufficient to modify the 
emp object alone?*

When I use forceVersionUpdate for the emp object then, the session log 
does show UpdateQuery in the logs however no update query is executed 
against the database.
*What is the reason for this behavior?*
*

*Happy New Year!*
