Hello,

I am trying to figure out a problem with my JBoss installation. I have a number of 1-M relationships defined and when I try to create data that contains a foreign key, I always get errors like this:

java.sql.SQLException: INSERT statement conflicted with COLUMN FOREIGN KEY constraint 'SM_FOREIGN_KEY'. The conflict occurred in database 'TE', table 'MEMO', column 'MEMO_UUID'.

I am using a third-party code generator that creates the deployment descriptors and all that stuff for me. I'm thinking that the problem lies somewhere there but I can't see what it is.

The DDL was created manually.

The symptom I am seeing is that the child elements are saved before the parent element. Since the constraints are defined on the database server (and I am not at liberty to remove them) it complains because the foreign key of the child points to a (as yet) non-existent parent. I don't understand what determines the storage order so I'm not sure what to change to make the parent be stored before the child(ren).

The database elements are created from a web page where all the data for the objects are collected and but in a Java object for storage.

My database server is SQL Server 2000 on Windows XP and I'm using JBoss 3.2.5.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

L
