Well, sorry, but you'll need to simplify things before I can help you any further. It seems that your problem is in trying to get everything to work in one big bang instead of starting with the examples included in the Seam download and working from there, one step at a time.

hi,
try to add a little modification and remove @In
and @Out annotation at project field.

maybe you have no need to inout project field with
other control action object.

hi,
checked your code, you use local var "project" in ProjectAction, but you did not assigned value for it,just use @In(created=true), so every value of project var is always new Project.
pls see note between two lines//////////////////////////

@IfInvalid(outcome=REDISPLAY)
 public String markForEdition() {
 log.info("=== markForEdition ...");

 log.info("=== get dataAction ...");
 DataAction data = (DataAction)Contexts.getEventContext().get("dataAction");

 //log.info("=== The obj is " + data.getClass().getName());
 UIData table = data.getTable();
 //CoreTable table = data.getTable();

 if ( table.isRowAvailable() ) {
//////////////////////
at this
maybe you want proejct=(Project)table.getRowData();
//////////////////////
 Project prj = (Project) table.getRowData();
 log.info("=== Attempting to update a row : " + prj.toString());

 prj = (Project)hibernateSession.merge(prj);
 //hibernateSession.update(project);
 //hibernateSession.saveOrUpdate(prj);
 return "success";
 } else {
 log.info("=== Couldn't find row !!!");
 }

 return null;
 }

Did you solve your problem ?

I'm having the same problem, but only if I do an update in a CONVERSATION scope, where I'm trying to update an object that was loaded and changed in a previous request but in the same conversation. If my controller is in the EVENT scope, everything works well (ChangePasswordAction) in noEJB booking example.

In other words,

This is not working, i.e. no database update is done

@End
public String update() {
 portfolio = (AmcPortfolio)session.merge(portfolio);
 return "main";
}

(DefaultMergeEventListener.java:entityIsPersistent:124) -ignoring persistent instance

@End
public String update() {
 session.refresh(portfolio);
 portfolio.setPortfolioName("TEST");
 portfolio = (AmcPortfolio)session.merge(portfolio);
 return "main";
}
