UPDATE after INSERT in CMR

[mkyaj]

Hi,

To put my problem with an example i have a CMR USER(1) -ADDRESS(m).
When i create an User, it will create the corresponding Addresses(say 3 different addresses for this instance) also.
It is calling
INSERT INTO ADDRESS(field1,field2,USER_FK) VALUES(?,?,?).
INSERT INTO ADDRESS(field1,field2,USER_FK) VALUES(?,?,?).
INSERT INTO ADDRESS(field1,field2,USER_FK) VALUES(?,?,?).

and after that it is again calling
UPDATE ADDRESS set USER_FK=? WHERE ID=?
UPDATE ADDRESS set USER_FK=? WHERE ID=?
UPDATE ADDRESS set USER_FK=? WHERE ID=?

How to stop updating immediately after creation?

Hi,

I think that flag is to specify whether the insert has to be called before ejbPostCreate() or after ejbPostCreate();
Possible values are:
false - the default value, INSERT will be executed after ejbCreate but before
ejbPostCreate;
true - INSERT will be executed after ejbPostCreate.

I tried by changing that to - true. I am getting an exception
javax.ejb.CreateException: Primary key for created instance is null.

Thanks,
Murali.

Probably, you are using primary key generation entity-command and the primary key is generated at INSERT time. If so, of course, it won't work.
As a workaround, you could use some entity-command that generates keys before INSERT.
Sorry, but that's the spec.
