One more precision : it is not failling if I call getField() but apparently only if field is a collection and if I call .size() method.
Could that be a bug somewhere in enhancement or proxy of collection ?

To illustrate : an exemple where A has a collection of B :


// Here, A had been detached and entity manager had been closed
// Note that B had not explicitly detached.

// The collection of A came from a query "SELECT a FROM A a" but with a fetch plan to restrict B and other values not to be retreived.

for(A a : collection of A) {
B bs = a.getB(); // is not null but can't be evaluated in the debugger due to a NPE even if the console do not show any stack
  if (bs != null) {
// SO we're going here because bs is not null. Don't know what's inside as it can't be evaluated in the debugger.
        bs.size(); // NPE is here in the console and also in the debugger.
  }
}

Here is the stack :

it is still failling !
After detaching and even closing the entity manager, accessing a not retreived field using fetch plan cause a NPE in pcReplaceField ...

I'm completly blocked and in the dark ... I even don't see where investigating more now ...

Any idea ?

Hi,

Have you tried detaching your entities? When an entity is detached OpenJPA won't go to the database to load a field. So we'll return null for anything that isn't in your fetch group (exception : if you load the field prior to
detaching then it will be available).
This is a good point and it had worked, but I'm puzzled : I thought closing the entityManager will detach managed entities ... and apparently it is not the case. If I want to detach entity, I have to detach it explicitly, I didn't spot that.

You can detach by calling EntityManager.clear() or
OpenJPAEntityManager.detach(Object o). Either way it'll be a lot easier than
creating your own proxy class.
Sure, it is a *lot* more easier :-)
I'm using detachAll to detach a full collection at once.
I'm not sure about the behavior of clear(), should clear all managed entity ?

By the way, this detach behavior will be ammended in version 2.x, I might try this version, but I feel it could be risky ... On the other hand, my project's time frame fit well with this version 2.
Any feedback on 2.0 relliability ?


Hope this helps,
It solve the problem, big big thanks !

Hi,

My question is "is there simpler things to do ?"
Please, review that idea and don't hesitate to comment ...

Step 1 : I want partial object, not hashtables. It could be a Person
with only some attributes having values.
this concern not only @Basic attribute but also any relational
attributes like @ManyToOne, ...
=> I used fetch plan and it works fine.

Step 2 : I'm using an Apache lib via a third party framework that
explore all accessors (beanutils).
Unfortunatly, unretreived attributes came with a proxy.
As a consequence, all unreitreived attributes are now retreived
wasting all the benefit of having used fetch plan ...

Step 3 : I first try to get rid of that proxies but without success,
so I though I could just have my own proxy that could subclass the
OpenJPA default proxy
and just ensure in my subclass that when I need no proxy, the default
behavior is bypassed.

What do you think about that idea ?
