    JBossCMP issuing UPDATEs when not needed (also: performance

    pazu

      I've noticed a strange (harmless, but with great impact in performance) behavior with JBossCMP (CVS version about a week ago).

      Everytime I load an entity with relationships, it will issue an UPDATE command for each related entity just after loading it. While it may be acceptable when loading a single bean, it almost takes the server down when loading lots of entity (+100) the performance goes to unacceptable levels.

      What can I do (if I can do something) to help this? There are times when I need to load only 2 fields from around 2000 entities from a table. I've already defined load groups and JBossCMP is loading just the needed data. However, it's loading one entity at a time and issuing an UPDATE for each entity loaded. It takes minutes to load all entities.

      JBoss is 3.0.0beta2 Date:200203221637 and the database is PostgreSQL 7.1.3-4

          Some more info: here is a log excerpt when trying to load a single entity (AF) with 3 relationships (with Cliente, Agente and AFItem).

          Please note that JBoss issues an UPDATE for each relation loaded. My code didn't called a single setXXX() method.

          This is a simple case, just to illustrate the problem. Things goes bad when there are lots of entities to be loaded.

            More performance issues: are all relations loaded when the entity is loaded? I noticed relations are being loaded even when I haven't asked for them. And they aren't specified on the eager-load-group either.
