cmr field not set in ejbPostCreate()

[julien1]

Hi everybody,

I have the following entity beans : A and B with
a 1-1 relationship.

in A I have the following code :

public void ejbPostCreate(..)
{
B b = BHome.create(..);
setB(b);
}

The problem is that the inserted row has a NULL field
in the table where it shall have b primary key.

Subsequently a.getB() gives me a null reference.

I am using 3.0RC2 d/l on sourceforge.

thank you, Julien

That is the way it works. The insert happens between ejbCreate and ejbPostCreate. Foreign key fields will always initially be null.

Does that mean that what I want to do is not possible ?

are the two following snippets equivalents ?

1.
A.ejbPostCreate(..)
{
B b = BHome.create(...);
b.setA((A)context.getEJBLocalObject());
}

2.
A.ejbPostCreate(...)
{
B b = BHome.create((A)context.getEJBLocalObject());
}
B.ejbPostCreate(...)
{
setA(a);
}

because case 1 succeeds and case 2 fails :

1 => a.getB() = gives me a local to b
2 => a.getB() = null

It seems that for me both would be equivalent. But
I am not sure.

Oh, this is a different problem. Both should work. Post a bug report at source forge.

I have submited a bug report with a test case.
