persistence problem

[sadiquekatihar]

I have an object of entity class and this object is fully instantiated but when i try to persist this using Entity Manager it get failed to persist the data into table.
what is the actual way of persisting a entity object into table.

Hi sadique,

could you post your persisting code and the error message if you get one?

when i request for doRisgter() it executes but failed to persist data into table

[lvdberg]

Hi,

persisting data in a DB is done through the entityManager. The simplest step is adding entityManager.persist(newUser);

and add the following annotation to the bean: @In EntityManager entityManager;

I can't check the rest of your code, but normally this will do the trick.

Please read the documentation of JPA/Hibernate before starting with Seam and persistency!

i have done so but still it get failed

[lvdberg]

Hi,

sorry I missed the fact that you're already suing the entityHome, so there is no need to use the entitymanager which is included for free.

Because you want to add some additional logic before saving the entity, you should override the persist and update methods of home and put your logic in that method and than call super.persist(); Also a EntityHome component should have a ONVERSATION scope to keep track of its instance while you going through the different views.

[sadiquekatihar]

could you please write the code for overriding the persistence method for me. because i am confused that how to write it.

[lvdberg]

Hi,

The following is a simple override. To persist the instance you should call persist (or the overriden update method).
Be aware that you can select between persist and update with the isManaged() method.

@Override
public String persist(){
          
// Her you put your code to add stuff to your instance. Remind you should add everything to the object returnded from getInstance(); !!
// so : getInstance().setPassword(passwordSupport.getPassword());
//      getInstance().setActivationKey(getMD5Hash(newUser.getLasts....
return super.persist();
}

thank you so much for this . i get succeed
