Hi akm, you have 2 entity where ID isn't auto generated the problem is: he set ID of the parent and ID of the children. you call the save of the entityRepository entityRepository.save call merge, because for it, it isn't a new Entity.
We use PersistenceUnitUtil for check it, but see the javadoc for it: http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/persistence/PersistenceUnitUtil.html#getIdentifier%28java.lang.Object%29 In discussion with Gerhard we found a solution for it: i guess the only portable check is EntityManager#contains and if it returns false a #load with the id >if< the id is available, the part with #contains just to be faster with entities which are really loaded by the em, well - instead of #load a count query would be better to avoid that it really loads the entity. you could use a specialized bean for org.apache.deltaspike.data.impl.handler.CdiQueryInvocationContext and just override #isNew if you can't wait for the next release.
