Re: [eclipselink-users] OneToMany list insert problem

[James Sutherland <jamesssss@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't see in your code where you remove the element from the list?

In general, since you are removing and adding to the list, you basically did
not change the relationship, so I would expect no changes at all, it is very
odd that the element is removed in the cache, was it there to begin with? 
Ensure that you are maintain both sides of the relationship in general.

I don't think changes to order are seen as changes unless you use an
OrderColumn, so you could try using that.

EclipseLink has two modes of change tracking, one through events, and the
other through cloning.  Because you relationship is EAGER it is using the
cloning method.  You could try setting it to LAZY, to see if this is related
to the DEFERRED change tracking.
