Hi,

I have a problem when using the saveOrUpdate method (through the HibernateTemplate in Spring). I try to explain the problem without attaching any code to begin with since I think that I'm doing some fundamental error.

A mapped object "Entity" has a relation to another mapped object "EntitySector". This is mapped as a "bag" in the mapping files and implemented as a List in the java code. The relationship is configured with "cascade=all" and "lazy=false".

The first call to saveOrUpdate (with an Entity not stored in the database yet) works fine and entries is made both in the Entiy table as well in the EntitySector table. But a subsequent call to the method fails. This is due to that Hibernate tries to update the EntitySector table with a null value to the EntityId property/column. This is done even though all properties in Entity and EntitySector do have valid values in my call to the method.

As said before, I know that I must do something fundamentally wrong but can't figure out what it is. Does anyone have any ideas?

//Magnus

use updatewithevit() method.

And where do I find this method?

//Magnus

ok,

first do update(entity_obj),
then do evit(entity_obj),


hope it will help you !!
