PK75616: NOT INSERTABLE, NOT NULLABLE, AND NOT UPDATABLE COLUMN CAN NOT BE SET TO NULL EVEN THOUGH IT'LL NOT BE INSERTED AS SUCH

APAR status

Closed as program error.

Error description

A "read-only" column (indicated by insertable=false,
updatable=false, nullable=false) is checked for a null value
even though it will never be inserted or updated by the JPA
provider. The column obtains its value from the database and
should not be considered by the JPA provider.

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED:  All users of Java Persistence API (JPA)     *
*                  with WebSphere Application Server V7.0      *
*                  entities. A field in the entity must be     *
*                  annotated as nullable=false and either      *
*                  insertable=false and updatable=false        *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: An exception is thrown when an entity   *
*                      is persisted if it contains a field     *
*                      marked as non-nullable and              *
*                      non-insertable.                         *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
****************************************************************
The JPA provider checks for nullable before checking for
insertable or updatable.

Problem conclusion

When a new entity is inserted the check for whether a value
may be null is no longer done if the field is not insertable.

When an entity is updated, the check for whether a value may
be set to null is no longer done if the field is not updatable.

In short if the field will not be modified the JPA provider
does not enforce whether it may be set to null.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fixpack 7.0.0.3.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
