Broken link JIRA tickets
by Yoann Rodiere
Hello,
FYI, I added default content to the JIRA tickets created from the 404 error
page on hibernate.org, so that at the very least we have the exact broken
link, and if available, the referrer. Before that, reporters had to check a
box in order to add the information, and a lot did not...

Fwd: Fwd: @OneToOne with @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(s) vs @MapsId without value element
by Gail Badner
Forwarding Emmanuel's responses, which reduces the scope of what I thought
was buggy behavior.
There are still some weird cases though. I'll hone in on those in a
separate thread.

All my comments are caveat by me not having looked at this for years.
Note that these are different features.
@PKJC says that we don't create a new FK column, we reuse the id one.
@MapsId says, copy the value of the id from that property and pretend
it's an id generator.

Sounds fine.

Yes that's the expected behavior.

So that is not expressed in the spec but it might be that disabling that
is making things too complex for the Hibernate ORM engine. I would not
sweat too much on it.

ChildMapsId cannot be optional as it is the generator of the id. So we
ignore that the user has marked it optional.

Not to me, see above.

That's a bit weird but if the parent is not optional, why isn't there a
parent in the database with the proper id. Feels like a data incoherence
problem. If people have that,t hey must make it optional.

Right, this is a data incoherence, the parent must not be null.
Adding @NotFound(IGNORE) to ChildMapsId#parent will result in ChildMapsId

Again I don't think parent being null is valid for @MapsId

[ORM] Support for upsert semantics
by Gunnar Morling
Hi,
A common requirement that comes up repeatedly is "upsert" operations, i.e.
either insert a record or update the existing one with the same PK, if it
already exists. Many (most?) RDBMS support it, either by implementing SQL
2003's MERGE keyword or via proprietary alternatives [1].
I think it'd be great if there was something like Session#upsert(),
exposing these semantics at the entity level. Perhaps the idea was already
brought up in the past, but I wanted to throw it out in any case.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
--Gunnar

@OneToOne with @PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(s) vs @MapsId without value element
by Gail Badner
The fix for HHH-12436 involves correcting the foreign key direction for
"real" one-to-one associations. I've been looking into the ramifications of
this change because I'm concerned that applications can rely on the old
(incorrect) foreign key direction.
In the process I've found that Hibernate treats:
@OneToOne
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn
private Employee employee;
differently from:
@OneToOne
@MapsId
private Employee employee;
I believe they should be treated consistently. You can see my reasoning
below. [1]
Before going into details about how they are treated differently, I'd like
to get confirmation, in case I am missing some subtlety.
Could someone please confirm this?
Regards,
Gail

In 2.4.1.3 Examples of Derived Identities, Example 4(b) uses MapsId without
the value element as follows:
@MapsId
@JoinColumn(name="FK")
@OneToOne Person patient;
This example has the following footnote:
"[15] Note that the use of PrimaryKeyJoinColumn instead of MapsId would
result in the same mapping in this example. Use of MapsId
is preferred for the mapping of derived identities."
The description has a footnote that says that using PrimaryKeyJoinColumn
instead of MapsId would result in the same mapping.
In 11.1.45 PrimaryKeyJoinColumns Annotation, Example 2 uses
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumns as follows:
@OneToOne
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumns({
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="ID",
referencedColumnName="EMP_ID"),
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="NAME",
referencedColumnName="EMP_NAME")})
EmployeeInfo info;
This example has the following footnote:
"[123]Note that the derived identity mechanisms decribed in section 2.4.1.1
is now preferred to the use of PrimaryKeyJoinColumn for
this case."
