EntityManager find nothing right after persist - java

I have a Hibernate persist on an entity with primary key constructor, but it does not take effect in the database after something I don't know while I need it in some other methods
Here is my code:
Base_Document document = new Base_Document(workItem.getProcessInstanceId());
this.getEntityManager().persist(document);
this.getEntityManager().flush();
this.getEntityManager().close();
and some where else I have :
Object o = this.getEntityManager().find(Base_Document.class,
workItem.getProcessInstanceId());
where o is null. Any help?
my entity code :
#Entity
public class Base_Document implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
#Id
private Long processInstanceId;
private DocumentStatus status;
#ManyToOne
private Base_Roles creatorRole;
#Temporal(javax.persistence.TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date createDate;
public Base_Document() {}
public Base_Document(Long processInstanceId) {
this.processInstanceId = processInstanceId;
this.createDate = new Date();
this.status = DocumentStatus.DRAFT;
try {
String currentUser = PublicUtils.getHttpServletRequest().getUserPrincipal().getName();
this.setCreatorRole(PublicUtils.getEntityManager().find(Base_Roles.class, currentUser));
} catch (PolicyContextException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Base_Document.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
public Long getId() {
return processInstanceId;
}
public void setId(Long id) {
this.processInstanceId = id;
}
public Long getProcessInstanceId() {
return processInstanceId;
}
public void setProcessInstanceId(Long processInstanceId) {
this.processInstanceId = processInstanceId;
}
public DocumentStatus getStatus() {
return status;
}
public void setStatus(DocumentStatus status) {
this.status = status;
}
public Base_Roles getCreatorRole() {
return creatorRole;
}
public void setCreatorRole(Base_Roles creatorRole) {
this.creatorRole = creatorRole;
}
public Date getCreateDate() {
return createDate;
}
public void setCreateDate(Date createDate) {
this.createDate = createDate;
}
}

From Hibernate "persist" description:
However, it does not guarantee that the identifier value will be assigned to the persistent instance immediately
https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Web_Platform/5/html/Hibernate_Core_Reference_Guide/objectstate-makingpersistent.html
You can use "save()" if immediately search required.

JPA Exception while trying to persist bean to DATABASE

New to JPA and encountered an issue.
Basically I am creating this bean:
PurchaseOrderControlBean purchaseOrderControl = new PurchaseOrderControlBean();
and using setters in order to fill it with data.
While trying to persist data to my DB I get this exception:

When debugging the exception occurs on

I cannot seem to understand what I am missing here.
I could add any more information if needed.
I saw similar issues on other threads, however, it did not help me.

JPA Optimistic Lock Exception in single thread

I'm trying to update a basic deletion timestamp using a JPA persistence class. Here's the code:
public void delete(Document document, EntityManager em, SessionContext ctx)
throws MyException {
try {
ctx.getUserTransaction().begin();
DocumentDB documentDB = em.find(WDSDocument.class, document.getId());
if (documentDB != null) {
em.lock(documentDB, LockModeType.WRITE);
documentDB.setDeletedAt(new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()));
em.merge(documentDB);
em.flush(); // OptimisticLockException raised here
}
ctx.getUserTransaction().commit();
if (log.isDebugEnabled()) log.debug("DELETED " + document.getId());
} catch (Exception e) {
ctx.getUserTransaction().rollback();
throw new MyException(Utils.getError("ERR9", new String[] { "" + document.getId(), e.getMessage() }),
e);
}
}
The document with the same Id as document is already stored in a DB and I would like to update a single field.
The em.flush() line is raising the exception, as if another user (thread) was trying to update the same object, but this isn't the case in my application.
I've read about OptimisticLockException in JPA and I understand that it can be raised when the same user tries to update an object twice in a row, without flushing/committing to a DB first.
Apparently this error happens whenever I try to update the documentDB deletion timestamp for any object, so I guess there should be something inherently wrong with my delete() method that double updates the object itself. I was not able to troubleshoot it correctly so far.
EDITED
Here's my DocumentDB class

UPDATE
I haven't found the root cause of the issue so far. I suspect that my implementation of EclipseLink JPA does weird things when updating entities inside a for loop.
Unfortunately at the moment I don't have the time and the resources to dig deeper and I am using Pessimistic Locking as a workaround. Hope to find the real problem sometime in the future.

Springboot Jpa updating records instead of inserting

I'm doing the below query to find records that are in a temp table and dont exist in master then insert the results to the master table
#Query(value = "select b from InboundTemp b where b.transactionId NOT IN (SELECT p2.transactionId FROM Inbound p2)")
ArrayList<InboundTemp> findMissing();
However if I pass a single result object to the JpaRepository save method (To update the master table)it does an update instead of an insert.
what would I be doing wrong?

//postpaytransactionx.add(postpaytransaction);

}
The only reason why JPA does an update instead of insert is that the Primary Key already exists in your persistence layer or your table. So kindly check or post your source code in order to review it and find what is wrong (if the issue is not in your data).
Now that you have updated the question with the source code, your bug is probably on the instantiation of the postpaytransaction object.
try to insert into your loop before everything else
postpaytransaction = new PostPayTransaction ()
I had the exactly same issue. My point was that the SpringBoot was automatically recreating the DB on startup, incorrectly creating the identity column in the table.
Look for spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto.

A Foreign key refering has the wrong number of column. should be 2

Here is my code
VirsualPerson
public class VirsualPerson extends Person{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
#PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name="VIRSUALPERSON_ID")
private long virsualPersonId;
#ManyToMany(fetch=FetchType.LAZY,cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
#JoinTable(name="Anime_character",catalog="anime",joinColumns={
#JoinColumn(name="VIRSUALPERSON_ID",nullable=false)},inverseJoinColumns={#JoinColumn(name="ANIME_ID",nullable=false)})
private Set<Anime>animeCharacters=new HashSet<Anime>();
#OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.LAZY,mappedBy="charecter")
private Set<VirsualPeopleComment>comments=new HashSet<VirsualPeopleComment>();
public long getVirsualPersonId() {
return virsualPersonId;
}
public void setVirsualPersonId(long virsualPersonId) {
this.virsualPersonId = virsualPersonId;
}
public Set<Anime> getAnimeCharacters() {
return animeCharacters;
}
public void setAnimeCharacters(Set<Anime> animeCharacters) {
this.animeCharacters = animeCharacters;
}
public Set<VirsualPeopleComment> getComments() {
return comments;
}
public void setComments(Set<VirsualPeopleComment> comments) {
this.comments = comments;
}
}
VirsualPersonComment
#Entity
#Table(name="people_comment")
public class VirsualPeopleComment {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
#Column(name="peopleCommentId")
private long commentId;
#Column(name="content")
private String commentContent;
#Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
#Column(name="POST_TIME")
private Date postTime;
#ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumn(name="USER_ID")
private User commentUser;
#ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
#JoinColumn(name="VIRSUALPERSON_ID")
private VirsualPerson charecter;
public long getCommentId() {
return commentId;
}
public void setCommentId(long commentId) {
this.commentId = commentId;
}
public String getCommentContent() {
return commentContent;
}
public void setCommentContent(String commentContent) {
this.commentContent = commentContent;
}
public Date getPostTime() {
return postTime;
}
public void setPostTime(Date postTime) {
this.postTime = postTime;
}
public User getCommentUser() {
return commentUser;
}
public void setCommentUser(User commentUser) {
this.commentUser = commentUser;
}
public VirsualPerson getCharecter() {
return charecter;
}
public void setCharecter(VirsualPerson charecter) {
this.charecter = charecter;
}
}
And here is the error
A Foreign key refering VirsualPerson from VirsualPeopleComment has the wrong number of column. should be 2
I want to know what's wrong with my annotations and thanks a lot
I guess you should specify #JoinColumn here as well:
#OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.LAZY,mappedBy="charecter")
private Set<VirsualPeopleComment>comments=new HashSet<VirsualPeopleComment>();
looks like it should be
#OneToMany(fetch=FetchType.LAZY,mappedBy="charecter")
#JoinColumn(name="peopleCommentId")
private Set<VirsualPeopleComment>comments=new HashSet<VirsualPeopleComment>();

hibernate session.persist(object) create more rows in database

Helo,
I have method
public void createContest(Contest c) {
session.beginTransaction();
session.persist(c);
session.getTransaction().commit();
logger.info("Contest saved successfully!");
}
I call it in one place with one object but this method save the object Contest to the database 4x. What could be the problem?
Here is Contest class:
#Entity
#Table(name = "Contest")
public class Contest implements java.io.Serializable {

this.regRestriction = regRestriction;
this.precontests = new ArrayList<Contest>();
this.managers = new ArrayList<Person>();
this.teams = new ArrayList<Team>();
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public Date getDateOfEvent() {
return dateOfEvent;
}
public void setDateOfEvent(Date dateOfEvent) {

}
public Date getRegOpen() {

}

}
public void setRegClose(Date regClose) {
this.regClose = regClose;
}

}
public Contest getUpperContest() {
return upperContest;
}
public void setUpperContest(Contest c) {
this.upperContest = c;
}
public List<Contest> getPrecontests() {
return precontests;
}
public void addPrecontest(Contest e) {
this.precontests.add(e);
}
public void addManager(Person p){
this.managers.add(p);
}
public void addTeam(Team t){
this.teams.add(t);
}
public List<Person> getManagers(){
return managers;
}
}
And now I have to add some text because of restrictions of stackoverflow. Such Cool. Very wow.
You haven't posted the code where you instantiate Contest and populate its fields, but upperContest is probably the cause. You have CascadeType.ALL on the mapping, so you probably are persisting one contest which has a upper contest, thus actually persisting two instances because of cascade setting. Can't know for sure without that code.
