what "entity not dirty"?

[gzhong]

In trying to debug my program, I am going over the log file, and I see this:

2002-08-01 16:06:48,396 TRACE [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.JDBCStoreEntityCom
mand.User] Store command NOT executed. Entity is not dirty: pk=1


What does it mean? I see it several times as I list a set of folders that belong to a user (1-N relationship).

Thanks,
G

It means that ejbStore method was called on your CMP entity, but that it had not changed (become dirty) since it was loaded, so there was no necessity to perform the physical update of the database.

Nothing to worry about - unless you thought you changed it.
