[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-4177) Missing flush before lock() when LockModeType is AUTO

Missing flush before lock() when LockModeType is AUTO ----------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4177 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4177 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Bug Components: entity-manager Environment: core: 3.2.5.ga entitymanager: 3.3.1.ga annotations: 3.3.0.ga Reporter: Per Olesen Priority: Minor When I try to WRITE lock() a newly persisted entity using entityManager.lock, I get a StaleObjectStateException, telling me that some other transaction updated or deleted the row. I am doing this in the same transaction (persist and lock). By digging into the code, I see that the exception is thrown inside the SelectLockingStrategy.lock method, around these lines: ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(); try { if ( !rs.next() ) { if ( factory.getStatistics().isStatisticsEnabled() ) { factory.getStatisticsImplementor() .optimisticFailure( lockable.getEntityName() ); } throw new StaleObjectStateException( lockable.getEntityName(), id ); } } The query executed here is the one which performs the select on id with FOR UPDATE. This select finds nothing, hence the exception. Setting show_sql = true shows me, that no insert is performed. Debugging the flush mode tells me, that it is set to AUTO. Shouldn't AUTO flush mode have the side effect, that a flush is performed before a query? Performing an explicit flush, before the lock, makes everything green :-), so this is my current work-around. Here is the exception (sanitized for company info): org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaOptimisticLockingFailureException: nested exception is javax.persistence.OptimisticLockException Caused by: javax.persistence.OptimisticLockException at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.wrapStaleStateException(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:643) at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.throwPersistenceException(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:600) at org.hibernate.ejb.AbstractEntityManagerImpl.lock(AbstractEntityManagerImpl.java:379) ...
