hi, i'm working with an object were two objects refer to each other. i.e.
public abstract class Type implements EntityBean { /* snip */ public void ejbPostCreate(String name) throws CreateException { TypeLocal type = null; ResourceLocalHome resourceLome = null; /* skip this part if we're the root */ if (name.equals("root")) { return; } try { type = TypeUtil.getLocalHome().findByName("root"); resourceLome = ResourceUtil.getLocalHome(); typeLocal = typeLome.findByName("root"); } catch (Exception e) { /* snip */ } setResource(resourceLome.create(type)); } } public abstract class Resource implements EntityBean { public void ejbPostCreate(TypeLocal type) { setType(type); } } so, every Resource has a Type and every Type is a Resource unless it's the root Type. for some reason when I call setResource() from Type's ejbPostCreate() nothing happens. no UPDATE statements for the Type table are generated. in the database i see => select * from type ; id | name | resource_id -----+----------+------------- 397 | root | 398 | type_one | 399 | type_two | (3 rows) => select * from resource; id | type_id ------+-------- 1485 | 397 1486 | 397 (2 rows) if i call setResource() outside of ejbPostCreate() this works fine. the same behavior is also happening with other entities that are also Resources and have a ejbPostCreate() that's similar to Type's. is there something particular about updating a CMR from within ejbPostCreate that is different? the following is the dd for this particular CMR. <ejb-relation > <ejb-relation-name>type-resourceid</ejb-relation-name> <!-- unidirectional --> <ejb-relationship-role > <ejb-relationship-role-name>type-is-a-resource</ejb-relationship-role-name> <multiplicity>One</multiplicity> <relationship-role-source > <ejb-name>Type</ejb-name> </relationship-role-source> <cmr-field > <cmr-field-name>resource</cmr-field-name> </cmr-field> </ejb-relationship-role> <ejb-relationship-role > <ejb-relationship-role-name>a-resource-may-be-a-type</ejb-relationship-role-name> <multiplicity>One</multiplicity> <cascade-delete/> <relationship-role-source > <ejb-name>Resource</ejb-name> </relationship-role-source> </ejb-relationship-role> </ejb-relation> Any suggestions are much appreciated. barbee. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek No, I will not fix your computer. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ JBoss-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-user
