I am doing something that doesn't seem to fit too well with the framework. I have a set of user edit pages. I wanted to let the user go to a few popup windows to edit certain areas of the user's data. Then when the user decides the changes are good, commit them all at the same time.
That basic premise is working, what I am running into is a problem with trying to have multiple "save points". I was trying to make it so in each popup, the user would be able to click apply or cancel. The apply would apply all the changes on the popup to the object, and the cancel to rollback the changes for that popup only. Each popup controls not only single properties (username, first name, etc.), but may also contain lists (phone numbers, etc.). So when canceling the dialog, it may be adds and deletes of children that I want to undo. I tried using a clone via object i/o stream to implement this, but the clones were not happy with hibernate/ejb3: org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException: failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: mypackage.User.emails, no session or session was closed Is there a "clean" way of doing this? I wanted to have these multiple save points as the user may be new and cannot be saved until all the information is complete. Is there some way to nest transactions, create save points in a transaction, or somehow clone objects with the EntityManager that I missed (I can't use refresh as that would rollback all my changes, not just one popup's worth)? If I can't get this to work, I will just remove the popup cancel/rollback functionality, but it would be great for my users if I can manage it. BTW, all my functionality for editing the user is in one EJB (it handles all the back-end functionality for each popup, so I don't think I can nest conversations as there only seems to be one per bean allowed).
