Description

1. Create an entity which has a one-to-many relationship with other entity (MyEntity ---> MyOtherEntity)
2. Persist the entity.
3. Query the earlier created entity using JPQL.
4. Detach the entyty using OpenJPAEntityManager.detach() method.
5. Query for some entities which the created entity has a one-to-many relashionship (MyOtherEntity) and update the entity with the result of the query, i.e. myEntity.setMyOtherEntities(query.getResultList());
6. Try to attach the entity back to the persistence context using EntityManager.merge() method.

ACT: You will end up with the PersistenceException:
