[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Reopened: (HHH-6957) Throw PropertyValueException if there are unresolved entity insert actions after persist/save/merge listeners execute

Throw PropertyValueException if there are unresolved entity insert actions after persist/save/merge listeners execute --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-6957 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-6957 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Reporter: Gail Badner Assignee: Gail Badner Fix For: 4.1.0 The current behavior (before this proposed change) is kind of complicated when an entity has a non-nullable, transient reference that is not resolved by cascading. When CHECK_NULLABILITY is true: - persist/save/merge event listeners will throw PropertyValueException; When CHECK_NULLABILITY is false: - if the entity insert action is executed before the session is flushed (i.e., an "early" insert to generate an identity ID), then JDBCException is thrown; - otherwise, TransientObjectException is thrown when the owning entity is dirty-checked. The proposed change would make the behavior consistent for all of these cases. If there are any "unresolved" non-nullable, transient entities after the top-level persist/save/merge event executes, then PropertyValueException would be thrown, regardless of the CHECK_NULLABILITY setting.
