Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED:  All users of IBM WebSphere Application      *
    *                  Server V7.0.0 who make use of nested        *
    *                  embeddables in their Jave Persistence       *
    *                  API (JPA) entities.                         *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Merging a JPA entity which contains a   *
    *                      nested Embeddable causes an             *
    *                      ArgumentException.                      *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    Take the following JPA Entity and Embeddables as an example:
    @Entity
    public class TestEntity {
    @Id
    private Long id;
    @Embedded
    private MyEmbeddedObject test;
    ..........
    @Embeddable
    public class MyEmbeddedObject {
    @Embedded
    private NestedEmbedded nestedEmbedded;
    ..........
    @Embeddable
    public class NestedEmbedded {
    ..........
    In this case we have a nested Embeddable.  The
    ArgumentException can occur when an attempt is made to update
    or add a 'NestedEmbedded' to a detached 'TestEntity' instance,
    and that 'TestEntity' instance is merged into the persistence
    context.
    

Problem conclusion

  • With this fix, code has been added to properly handle the
    merging of an entity with nested a Embeddable.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    Service Level (Fix Pack) 7.0.0.21 of WebSphere Application
    Server version 7.0.0.
