[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - modify entity after persist from same method

Just wondering if it is possible to change a newly persisted entity instance (from EntityHome) in the same action method. I can't seem to find any information about this anywhere. It is certainly hibernate related.. My action method injects 3 types of EntityHome objects My problem is that I have to create these 3 different entities (one of each type) in this action and they all refer to each other but they need to be persisted in a certain order. So after they are all persisted I need to modify some of the relations on the new entities. Whenever I add these new relationships I get an exception: [lifecycle] #{Register.registerUser}: avax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: validation failed for: com.example.User ... Caused by: org.hibernate.validator.InvalidStateException: validation failed for: com.vivapop.calendar.entity.User at org.hibernate.validator.event.ValidateEventListener.validate(ValidateEventListener.java:143) at org.hibernate.validator.event.ValidateEventListener.onPreUpdate(ValidateEventListener.java:172) at org.hibernate.action.EntityUpdateAction.preUpdate(EntityUpdateAction.java:217) at org.hibernate.action.EntityUpdateAction.execute(EntityUpdateAction.java:65) at org.hibernate.engine.ActionQueue.execute(ActionQueue.java:250) Is it possible to do the updates in the same action after persist? If not there must be another approach that I can't see? Thanks for any input. Jon View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4122851#...
