Hi, I have something like | @Entity | public class Question implements java.io.Serializable { | | @OneToMany(cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "question") | public Set<Answer> getAnswers() { | return this.answers; | } | Before rendering I add Answer instance to the above Set but I don't want to persist them, I just need them in order to retrieve value fromt the UI and according to the value i will persist some of them and discard some others. But on the render response event I got the following stacktrace : anonymous wrote : | 2006-09-28 14:07:53,984 DEBUG [org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamExtendedManagedPersistencePhaseListener] committing transaction after phase: RENDER_RESPONSE(6) | 2006-09-28 14:07:53,984 DEBUG [org.jboss.seam.util.Naming] JNDI InitialContext properties:{java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory, java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces} | 2006-09-28 14:07:53,984 DEBUG [org.hibernate.event.def.AbstractFlushingEventListener] processing flush-time cascades | and all the Answer instances are persisted ! It looks like method like save() or update() are called automatically during this phase. I would like to prevent this and understand why this happens. Is this related to my faces-config file lifcycle tag : anonymous wrote : | | <phase-listener>org.jboss.seam.jsf.SeamExtendedManagedPersistencePhaseListener</phase-listener> | | thanks in advance for your feedback Regards, Christophe View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3974827#...
