Can't update an entity bean oout of a servlet

[georges]

Hi all!

I get a strange behaviour of an entity bean in JBoss 2.4.1a. The problem is that I want to update an entity bean. I wrote a System.ou.t println in the setter-Method of this bean. The value is correct, but if I read this value with the getter-Method the old value is returned. The strange thin is, from my app-client everything works fine. Any hints about that.

The Bean is like that

public class UserBean implements EntityBean
{
protected EntityContext entityContext;

//primaryKey fields
public String client;
public String userid;

//mandatory fields
public String password;

//optional fields
public Date pwduration;
public String loginattempts;



public UserBeanPK ejbCreate(BeanData data) throws CreateException
{
// Objektstatus setzen
this.client= data.getStringAttribute("client");
this.userid= data.getStringAttribute("userid");

this.password= data.getStringAttribute("password");

return null;
}

public void ejbPostCreate(BeanData data){}
public void ejbActivate() {}
public void ejbLoad() {}
public void ejbPassivate() {}
public void ejbRemove() throws RemoveException {}
public void ejbStore() {}
public void setEntityContext(EntityContext ctx) {
// Keep the entity context in object
entityContext = ctx;
}
public void unsetEntityContext() {
entityContext = null;
}

/*========================= User implementation ============================*/

public void setUserData(BeanData data)
{
this.password= data.getStringAttribute("password");

this.pwduration= data.getDateAttribute("pwduration");
loginattempts= data.getStringAttribute("loginattempts");
System.out.println("beanset"+loginattempts);
}

public BeanData getUserData()
{
System.out.println("beanget"+loginattempts);
BeanData data = new BeanData();
//Primary fields
data.setStringAttribute("client",client);
data.setStringAttribute("userid",userid);

//Mandatory fields
data.setStringAttribute("password",password);

//Optional fields
data.setDateAttribute("pwduration",pwduration);
data.setStringAttribute("loginattempts",loginattempts);

return data;
}
}

and is accessed from a class within a servlet
try {
UserBeanPK pk = new UserBeanPK(
data.getStringAttribute("client"),
data.getStringAttribute("userid")
);
User bean = ((UserHome) de.xifs.helper.ReferenceHolder.getReference("User")).findByPrimaryKey(pk);
bean.setUserData(data);
}
catch(Exception e) {
throw new Exception("Failed to edit User by primary key"+e.toString());
}
Any hints.
