CMR Relationships not updated after rollback -------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-3832 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-3832 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: CMP service Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.0.4.GA Environment: Windows XP Professional Version 5.1 Service Pack 2 Reporter: Jay Perkins Assigned To: Alexey Loubyansky After alot of research, I have come to the following conclusion. Performing a rollback does not rollback any changes made to a CMR relationship altered in concurrent transactions. The changes made to the database seem to be rolled back, but the entity that contains the CMR relationship will still contain the association. Entity of type A has one to many relationship with Entity of type B Start Transaction 1 Load Entity A1 Create Entity B1 Add Entity B1 to Entity A1 CMR relationship Suspend Transaction 1 Start Transaction 2 Create Entity B2 Add Entity B2 to Entity A1 Rollback Transaction 2 Resume Transaction 1 Call CMR relationship to get B entities from A1 Returns RelationSet with 2 Entities Get NoSuchObjectLocalException when accesing CMP field from entity B2 found in the returned RelationSet because the creation of B2 was rolled back but the relationship between A1 and B2 still existed in memory. Conclusion: The CMR relationship is not being cleaned up when Transaction 2 is rolled back. Transaction 1 will get a RelationSet that contains a reference to the rolled back entity B2. If you use the per transaction entity instance cache (to jboss.xml below) <instance-cache>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.PerTxEntityInstanceCache</instance-cache> You will avoid the problem because each transaction is working on a separate instance of the entity. However, this is not a real workaround, because a side effect is that you also would not see commits that occurred in transaction 2, within transaction 1. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
