[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Moved: (HV-281) validation of a persisted map

validation of a persisted map ----------------------------- Key: HV-281 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HV-281 Project: Hibernate Validator Issue Type: Bug Environment: hibernate-core 3.5.0-Beta-3 Validator 4.0.1.GA MySQL 5.1 Reporter: tho gau Attachments: mapValidation.zip Hi, I am trying to validate an entity that holds a Map<K, V> of other persisted entities (just checking wether the map holds some predefined values). I can validate it "by hand" using validator.validate() and my map is correctly filled at validation time However when validation framework is called by persistence callbacks, my map is always empty... I am using Validator 4.0.1.GA and hibernate-core 3.5.0-Beta-2 I tryed to pinpoint the problem and it seems that the map is not touched in the following method of AbstractType during the merge : {code} public Object replace( Object original, Object target, SessionImplementor session, Object owner, Map copyCache, ForeignKeyDirection foreignKeyDirection) throws HibernateException { boolean include; if ( isAssociationType() ) { AssociationType atype = (AssociationType) this; include = atype.getForeignKeyDirection()==foreignKeyDirection; } else { include = ForeignKeyDirection.FOREIGN_KEY_FROM_PARENT==foreignKeyDirection; } return include ? replace(original, target, session, owner, copyCache) : target; } {code}
