Re: [eclipselink-users] Data Loss when using getter on a lazy, loaded @O

[reinhard.girstenbrei@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Erhard,

by default an Entity with an Id of 0 or NULL means that it is a new object.

Therefore your code should persist a new object to the database.

You are using a SequenceGenerator therefore you should start with an Id > 0.

Otherwise check:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=277804

Please notice that allocationSize = 1 will result in pretty bad 
performance when persisting new objects.

Best regards,

Reinhard Girstenbrei
