Of course! Its a FAQ item that assigned ids including composite ids can't distinguish between a saved or unsaved object (you have a choice between "always update" or "always insert").
So if you want to add a new child (with unsaved-value="none"), simply save () it manually first: child.setParent(parent); parent.addChild(child); session.save(child); session.update(parent); None of these things are issues if you use synthetic ids, as is best practice for all sorts of other reasons (see Scott Ambler's paper). "Raible, Matt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" Sent by: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: eforge.net Subject: [Hibernate] composite-id still doesn't work for me... 23/01/03 05:10 AM I just did a fresh checkout from CVS and updated my hibernate version. I can still retrieve data (and children) just fine, but not save it. I noticed now that <composite-id>'s "unsaved-value" only allows "any" and "none" - however, neither of these work for me: <composite-id name="id" unsaved-value="none" class="com.comcast.cable.dmc.itd.cct.persistence.CCRChildId"> <key-property column="CCR_ID" name="ccrId" type="long"/> <key-property column="RECORD_NUM" name="recordNum" type ="long"/> </composite-id> results in: [junit] WARN [main] JDBCExceptionReporter.logExceptions(35) | SQL Error: 1407, SQLState: 72000 [junit] ERROR [main] JDBCExceptionReporter.logExceptions(42) | ORA-01407: cannot update ("CCTADM IN"."CMCF_MPS"."CCR_ID") to NULL If I set unsaved-value="any", then I get: [junit] WARN [main] JDBCExceptionReporter.logExceptions(35) | SQL Error: 1, SQLState: 23000 [junit] ERROR [main] JDBCExceptionReporter.logExceptions(42) | ORA-00001: unique constraint (CCT ADMIN.CMCF_MPS_PK) violated My <bag> mapping to this class is: <bag role="mpsList" table="CMCF_MPS" cascade="all" order-by="record_num"> <key column="CCR_ID"/> <one-to-many class="com.comcast.cable.dmc.itd.cct.persistence.CMCFMps"/> </bag> I guess I'll remove my "bag" mappings and populate my child object manually as this obviously isn't working for me ;-) Thanks, Matt ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Scholarships for Techies!
