HELP! InvalidStateException on PROD but not DEV

[mgvarley]

Hi all - I am getting a bizarre exception when trying to call persist() on one of my EntityHome classes - it is bizarre as it works absolutely fine on my local machine but is being thrown consistently on my production server.  I am using exactly the same test data in both environments, have tried re-building jboss AS on production (v4.2.3) and have verified that exactly the same code is being used on both machines but it still happens :o(  I assume that this must be a config issue since but I can't for the life of me work out what?!

Any pointers as to where I should look would be much appreciated - I've spent all day on this and it's driving me mad!  Full stack trace is below:

Thanks,

mark

I finally found the problem after 24 hours of pain!  The root cause was an @Email hibernate validation - it appears that in earlier versions of hibernate validator there are problems with using @Email on an optional email property as jsf passes an empty string rather than a null and so you can pass the screen validation but then get an error on persist.  This has subsequently been fixed but as I am using the default hibernate version provided by Jboss AS and this is different on my dev server (JBoss Studio 2.0 BETA bundled with JBoss AS) and my PROD server (JBoss AS 4.2.3GA).  I am going to look into using classloaders to ensure the app I deploy has the correct jars I depend on.  In the meantime, I will upgrade my server to use a new version of hibernate.

Your best bet is to use the exact same stack in all envmts.  My recommendation is to use EAP 4.3 or potentially EAP 5.0 when it's available.  It's the certified JBoss stack according to Redhat/JBoss.  Versions of libs and configurations of AS are very important and should remain as consistent as possible in all envmts.

Hi Mike

I am also encountering the same problem in updating an object. Please let me know what changes I can make to get it to work.

In my case the update works for some objects, those that I had added into the DB, but for exisiting objects, I get the following stack trace.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I noticed that you said use persist instead of merge.

I even made that change but the exception does not seem to go away.


I also noticed a strange behavior

For objects that I had added and updated, it(Hibernate save) works fine.

But for objects that are existing, I get a invalid state exception.

I tried refreshing the DB and checking if the DB is able to access the object, and it does it successfully

Please give me an insight into this.

Hi Arbi

Hi Dean

I am also encountering the same problem in updating an object. Please let me know what changes I can make to get it to work.

In my case the update works for some objects, those that I had added into the DB, but for exisiting objects, I get the following stack trace.

Invalid State Exception

I noticed that you said use persist instead of merge.

I even made that change but the exception does not seem to go away.


I also noticed a strange behavior

For objects that I had added and updated, it(Hibernate save) works fine.

But for objects that are existing, I get a invalid state exception.

I tried refreshing the DB and checking if the DB is able to access the object, and it does it successfully

Please give me an insight into this.
