[news.eclipse.rt.eclipselink] 2 inserts for same row of Unidirectional M

[msmart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Matthew Smart)]

This same setup works fine in 1.0.2 but will not work in 1.1.0. Any Ideas?

Unidirectional manytoone mapping between Tables called INCIDENT and 
LOCATION.
An incident has a location. A location can be associated with multiple 
incidents (and with some other objects), but we do not store a collection 
of incidents inside the location object. So the tables look like this:
INCIDENT
PK INCIDENT_ID
FK LOCATION_ID

LOCATION
PK LOCATION_ID

The incident object has an annotation on its location like this:
@ManyToOne(optional = false)
@JoinColumn(name = "LOCATION_ID", referencedColumnName = "LOCATION_ID", 
nullable = false)
private Location location;

There is nothing in the Location object that references the Incident 
object and we are not defining a cascade. The joinColumn is needed since 
our DB tables and columns are all in caps (annoying, I know).


The problem is that we have a method that creates a new location, persists 
it, and then associates that location with an incident. The code that 
creates the new location is used in numerous areas in the codebase for 
location creation since locations can exists without being associated with 
any incident and are associated with some other objects. 

This triggers 2 db inserts, one when we persist the location, and one when 
we call the incident's setLocation() function (which has no annotations).  
This same code works fine in 1.0.2.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help.
