Albert Lee updated OPENJPA-359:
-------------------------------
Attachment: OPENJPA-359.patch
The solution is to create a java.sql.Timestamp based on the current time plus a
unique counter within the same current time windows. Therefore the timestamp is
not truely a time based timestamp but a unique timestamp for versioning purpose.
> OptimisticLockException NOT thrown for entity using Timestamp Version when
> update from concurrent persistence contexts

>
> We ran a test using Timestamp as the version field in an entity, the
> following (pseudo) test failed when an OptimisticLockException is expected:
> em1.persist( e0(pk1) );
> e1 = em1.find(pk1);
> e2 = em2.find(pk1);
> e1.setAttr( "new1");
> e2.setAttr( "new2");
> em1.merge( e1 );
> em2.merge( e2 ); <<<< Expect an OptimisticLockException
> The cause of this problem is because the TimestampVersionStrategy.nextVersion
> returns a java.sql.Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()); In the Wintel
> environment, the currentTimeMillis() only has approximately 15ms resolution.
> When 2 subsequent Timestamp version objects are requested within this 15ms
> interval, both has the same version value. Therefore the em2.merge does not
> detected the versions difference between o1 and o2, hence no exception is
> thrown.
> Due to this behavior, the same test case may failed intermittenly depends on
> the currentTimeMillis() resolution and the time when a timestamp version is
> created. From some preliminary tests, the resolution for wintel, linux and
> z/os are about 15ms, 2ms and 2ms respectively.
