Bizarre Things Going On!

[1cuervo]

Something weird is happening to the entity beans in my database. I have a MBean which scans through all the rows in my database and makes changes under certain conditions (i won't bore you with them). e.g. Changing status="processing" to status="ready".

The changes are certainly visible when I look at the entity bean attribute values with simple SQL queries, but when I get a simple client to return the value with an entity bean getXXX() method, it retruns the OLD value, no matter how long I wait.

When I restart the server, I finally get the correct, updated value.

Could somebody please tell me how I can get the updated value without having to restart the server?

It seems that the beans get activated at server startup and never refresh their up-to-date attribute values before being passivated at server shutdown.

Thanks veryy much for your help!!!!

Use commit options B or C, or if you can time your updates, maybe D (jboss specific).

Consult the manual for more details

Dave, I've seen you suggest this commit option B or C in a couple of different messages. Which part of which manual are these commit options explained? Can you give me a link or something? Thanks.

I have a similar problem. I load an entity bean no problem. However when I changed the actual bean data through Toad (Database viewer for OracleDB), the entity bean still reads the old value. The strange thing is that when I refresh the data through Toad again, I get the old value back and the value I set through Toad is gone!!!

Any ideas on how I can fix this???
