EclipseLink doesn't look at read only mappings, so it doesn't know if
the application has attempted to change them or not. It would be up to
the application to throw an exception if it wants to detect a read-only
attribute is being changed.

Hi All
Update: There was a primary key constraint missing on the
database for u3 (wondering how i missed it, anyways sorry about that
confusion). So this explains why the duplicate row insert was going
through fine.
Now the question is shouldn't eclipselink throw an exception when one
writes to a read only mapping?
I guess that with the primary key check in place, cache corruption will
not happen (can there be another usecase that I am missing?).
Otherwise accidental write to a read-only mapping corrupts the cache so
that it is not in sync with the database.

Hi Chris
I forgot to mention that direct-to-field mapping for a3 is set to read
only. So what happens when we try to write to a read-only mapping.
Shouldn't there be an exception when I try to write to it or is the
value just ignored. Is cache corruption expected in this case?
I am actually catching Exception and logging an error message. Since no
error is logged, I can assume no exception is being thrown. Besides
here is the Eclipselink log which suggests that everything went fine.
[EL Finer]: ClientSession --commit transaction
[EL Finest]: ServerSession --Connection released to connection pool
[default].
[EL Finer]: UnitOfWork --end unit of work commit
[EL Finer]: UnitOfWork --release
unit of work
[EL Finer]: UnitOfWork --release
unit of work
[EL Finer]: ClientSession ---client released
If this sounds perplexing I will try to write a stand alone program
ASAP to reproduce the issue.
Thanks

Hello Rohit,
1) One of the mappings will need to be marked as read-only - you cannot
have two writable mappings to the same U3.a3 field. If one is not
marked as read only, please file a bug to have validation throw an
exception, detailing how you are adding both mappings for the u3.a3
field.
2) This situation is not allowed in EclipseLink and the multiple
writable mappings for u3.a3 field has caused a cache corruption. It
looks like e3 was cached using the 'a3_new_row' value from the direct
to field mapping as this was available without processing, but
overriden on insert when the 1:1 mapping was processed since it got
processed after the direct to field. That said, even if this was
mapped correctly and only one field was read-only, the application
still seems wrong. You cannot have two entities with the same identity
in the same context. You will need to delete e2 in a separate
transaction before resurrecting it as e3, and would likely get an
exception had e3 not used the 'a3_new_row' for identity.
3) My understanding is that the database should throw an exception on
the insert, so I I cannot say why you are not seeing exceptions. Could
be that you have delayed constraint processing, or have a try/catch
block or exception handler that is ignoring the exception.

Chris

Hi All
I tried the following with eclipselink build 9156.
There are two tables u1 and u3. u1 has fields a1, b1 with a1 as the
primary key and u3 has fields a3, b3 with a3 as the primary key. There
is a DynamicType corresponding to both u1 and u3.
Create a target-one-to-one mapping from u1 to u3 with the u3.a3 as the
foreign key. Create a one-to-one mapping from u3 to u1 for the back
reference.
Now let us assume that there is an entity (E1) of type u1 having the
following values - a1='a1_val' and b1='b1_val'. The corresponding
entity (E2) linked by the target-one-to-one mapping in a3 has the value
a3='a1_val' (foreign key constraint) and b3='b3_val'.
I create a new dynamic entity (E3) of type u3 with a3='a3_new_row' and
b3='b3_new_row'. Now I establish the link between E1 and E3 by setting
the value of join attribute for both the one-to-one mappings to the
respective entities. The following two SQL queries are generated as a
result. uow.commit() does not throw an error.
INSERT INTO u3 (b3, a3) VALUES (?, ?)
bind => [b3_new_row, a1_val]
DELETE FROM u3 WHERE (a3 = ?)
bind => [a1_val]
The second query deletes the row inserted by the first query.
I have two doubts here:
1. I provided the value for a3 as 'a3_new_row'. This value is ignored
to ensure that the foreign key is populated created properly. Is this
expected behavior? Shouldn't eclipselink throw an error for such a
situation?
2. After the transaction commits when I issue a ReadAllQuery (with the
_expression_ specifying the value of the primary alone so that there is a
cache hit). The value of a3 is returned as 'a3_new_row' and that of b3
as 'b3_new_row'. If I restart my program so that there is no cache in
place now, the ReadAllQuery (with a left outer join) obviously does not
return any entity for u3 as there is no link between u1 and u3 in the
database tables. The row in U3 was deleted by the SQL above. Is this a
bug or am I missing something?
3. The first INSERT should fail as I already have a row in u3 that has
the value of a3 (primary key) as 'a1_val'. Since the back reference
one-to-one mapping has privately owned property set to false,
eclipselink did not issue a delete for the row that was already
existing. But in this case the INSERT should not go through fine. I do
not see any exception in my eclipselink logs with logging level set to
finest.
Thanks for your help!
