JPA method of merge failed to insert deleted records from database ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJB-385 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-385 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Issue Type: Improvement Components: EntityManager Affects Versions: 3.2.0.ga Environment: 3.2.6.ga, Weblogic,JPA, Windows Reporter: Hari The following is my requirement. Suppose i have a record in database with id say, 12. i have retrieved this using a JPQL query and convert it into a transfer object ,done some processing and going to remerge this after converting it to a new entity but the id set in the new entity is same as old one ie 12. Now just before calling entityManger.merge i have deleted the record with id 12 from database. The issue is the merge opeartion is not inserting the record in database at all. But if the id set in the entity is one which is never occured in the database,the merge operation will insert the record with the id set from teh application. Is there any work around/fix for this issue.
