    javax.persistence.EntityNotFoundException: deleted entity pa

    abcdefghijklmnop

      I get this exception everytime I try to delete an entity. There is a many-to-many reference within this entity. Before deleting an entity, I delete the references, which works fine. But the entity itself won't delete. The same exception appears when deleting entities that have no references at all. So I don't know where this comes from and how to solve.

          Hi!

          Strange name, but OK...
          Please post your full error message with stack trace. Nevertheless, it seems to me like you have some on delete cascade in your m:n relationship.

          I can't really tell, may be you remove some referenced entities, and afterwards, you remove the referencing entity, which in turn tries to delete the referenced entities again. So please be more precise about your m:n relationship.

          Best regards,
          Jochen

            Amendment to my last post: I guess, this may also happen in a recursive manner. I mean, having some entity types A and B, by deleting some instance of A you may get:
            delete A,
            delete all B referenced by A
            delete all A referenced by all B's affected by step 2
            and so on...

            Please correct me, f I am mistaken...

              My entity looks like this (that's the important part I guess):
              class Event {
              ...
               @ManyToMany(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
               private List<Event> relatedEvents;
              }


              Notice that it's a self-referencing relationship so maybe there's something wrong with that.

              Like I wrote in my first post, I delete the references manually before deleting the entity. I can tell from the database that all references are removed correctly so that shouldn't be the problem.

              • 4. Re: javax.persistence.EntityNotFoundException: deleted entit

                So how do you delete the other entities? What does your code look like?

                I think the correct way would be to remove the relationship, first. Something like that:

                // clear the relationship
                // depending on your relation context you may have to call EntityManager.merge(...)
                List<Event> relatedEvents = event.getRelatedEvents();
                for (Event relatedEvent : relatedEvents)
                {
                 relatedEvent.getRelatedEvents().remove(event);
                }
                // on both sides! That's important!
                event.setRelatedEvents(new ArrayList<Event>(0))
                // remove the event
                entityManager.remove(event);
                


                Please try it that way!

                  Hi abc,

                  take a look at this document, hopefully you will find your use case:
                  http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-13222
                  Basically, it should tell you the same as Jochen said.

                  Wolfgang

                    That's exactly how I do it. Like I mentioned, the strange thing is, that the error occurs aswell while trying to delete an entity that has no relationships to other events.

                      Hi,

                      I didn't see that you have a self referencing relationship, sorry for that.

                      What is the expected behavior? Do you want to delete all related events if one event is removed? This makes only sense if you build a tree structure. If you have a net of relationships, you shouldn't cascade the removal.

                      If you want to cascade, I think you have to do some recursion and use the code Jochen provided to remove all childs of all childs of all childs of ...

                      If you don't want to cascade, Jochen's code should work.

                      Hope this helps

                      Wolfgang
