    Description

      As posted on open-jpa-dev mailing list:


      I'm having a problem merging an entity, here's the simplified structure:

      Class A { @OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="parent")
      Set<B> b_set;
      ...
      }

      Class B {
      @ManyToOne
      A parent;

      @OneToMany(cascade=CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="parent")
      Set<C> c_set;
      ...
      }

      Class C {
      @ManyToOne
      B parent;
      ...
      }

      New instances of A,B,C are persisted correctly. However when I retrieve A, add some entries to A.b_set (with some of the new B entries have attached C's), em.merge(A) fails:

      • If A is detached:

      org.apache.openjpa.persistence.ArgumentException: Encountered new object "B@..." in persistent field "C.parent" of managed object "C@..." during attach. However, this field does not allow cascade attach. You cannot attach a reference to a new object without cascading.

      • If A is not detached:
        C instances are inserted before B instances, resulting in a foreign key violation.

      Setting openjpa.jdbc.SchemaFactory to 'native(ForeignKeys=true)' does not seem to have an effect.
