This is a bad idea. You are effectively creating two caches of the same data, but there is no code to keep them in sync. Although this may work today, you could get weird non-reproducible errors down the road.
Dan pointed out that engine can delay insert until after postCreate or until the end of the transaction, but that change will not hapen any time soon. -dain > -----Original Message----- > From: Dobridge, Thomas A [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 4:40 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: [JBoss-dev] Non-NULL foreign key CMR > > > There was a brief discussion on this recently but I didn't > quite get the > jist of it. > > Just wan't to clarify that with latest jboss3.0.0alpha CMP > code, it appears > for now that the INSERT statement generated for > ejbCreate(..) depends > solely on the list of defined cmp-fields.
