[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (BVAL-234) Ignore @NotNull on JPA's @GeneratedValue properties for pre-persist operations

Ignore @NotNull on JPA's @GeneratedValue properties for pre-persist operations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: BVAL-234 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/BVAL-234 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: Improvement Components: spec-general Affects Versions: 1.1 Environment: Netbeans 7, Seam 3 under JBOSS AS 7 Reporter: Richard Clarke Priority: Minor Labels: bean, validation Original Estimate: 8h Remaining Estimate: 8h When using NetBeans 7 to generate entity classes from a database table, the entity classes are generated with the following annotations... public class Orders implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) @Basic(optional = false) @NotNull @Column(name = "orderid") private Integer orderid; ..... When persisting, bean validation fails because the autogenerated primary key is null at the time the object is persisted. Netbeans have stated that they wont fix this as they see it as bean validation issue rather than their generated classes. See here: http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=197845 Related Forum posting is here... https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1011908 Suggest modifying Bean Validation Pre-Persist to ignore @NotNull if @GeneratedValue exists. Thanks Rich
