| Test Fork In order to make my Collections observable for JavaFX I used the JavaFX bean convention to wrap them in javafx.beans.Properties. Hibernate is not able to refresh Entities with Collections (`ElementCollection`, `ManyToMany`, `OneToMany`) correctly. @Entity
public class Person { private int id; @Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
public int getId() { return id; } public void setId(int id) { this.id = id; } private final ListProperty<String> contacts = new SimpleListProperty<>(FXCollections.observableArrayList());
public final ListProperty<String> contactsProperty() { return contacts; } @ElementCollection
public List<String> getContacts() { return contacts.get(); } public void setContacts(List<String> contacts) { this.contacts.set(FXCollections.observableList(contacts)); } } In this Example the `contacts` are wrapped inside a `ListProperty`, so the ui gets notified on changes. I provide JPA with property acces on the `getContacts()` method. All operations seem to work fine with the property access. It is possible to
- `persist()` a `Person` (`contacts` in the DB Table are being inserted)
- `find()` a `Person` (the `contacts` are fetched correctly from the DB and are available in contactsProperty() and getContacts())
- `flush()` a change to a `Person` (`contacts` are being updated in the DB Table correctly)
But it is not possible to `refresh()` a `Person`. The `contacts` do not get updated. |
