Error when persisting deep object graph
---------------------------------------

                 Key: OPENJPA-1805
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1805
             Project: OpenJPA
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.0.1
         Environment: Windows XP SP3, Postgres database
            Reporter: Rade Martinović


I have following model:

*Report*,
*ReportSection* and
*ReportSectionProperty*.

*Report* has zero to many *ReportSections*, *ReportSection* has zero to many 
*ReportSectionPropert*-ies. This would qualifie as three levels deep object 
graph.

I create new *Report*, then add some sections to it, then add some properties 
to it. When I try to persist *Report*, I get following error:

<pre><code>Caused by: org.apache.openjpa.lib.jdbc.ReportingSQLException: ERROR: 
insert or update on table "report_section" violates foreign key constraint 
"fk_report_section_report"
  Detail: Key (id_node)=(186) is not present in table "report". {prepstmnt 
20859482 INSERT INTO core.report_section (index_section, name, 
report_section_type, id_node) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?) [params=?, ?, ?, ?]} [code=0, 
state=23503]</code></pre>

So, OpenJPA is persisting object graph, but somehow it started from the middle. 
id_node 186 is indeed the next id of the Report table but, obviously that 
object is not saved when ReportSection is being saved.

If I put em.persist(report) then em.flush() between each operation of adding 
sections or properties, everything works. Is this the way to go?

If I don't add any properties to sections, persisting Report works, even 
without em.flush().

I use OpenJPA 2.0.1 as JPA provider.

Maybe some relevant parts of the code:

Report.java

<pre><code>public class Report{

        @OneToMany(targetEntity = ReportSection.class, cascade = 
CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy="report")
        private List<ReportSection> reportSections;
        
        public void addReportSection(ReportSection section){
                synchronized (this) {
                        if (getReportSections() == null)
                                reportSections = new ArrayList<ReportSection>();
                        reportSections.add(section);
                        section.setReport(this);
                }
        }
}</code></pre>

ReportSection.java
<pre><code>public class ReportSection{

    @ManyToOne
        @JoinColumn(name="id_node")
        private Report report;

    @OneToMany(targetEntity=ReportSectionProperty.class, 
cascade=CascadeType.ALL,   mappedBy="reportSection")
    private List<ReportSectionProperty> reportSectionProperties;

        public void setReport(Report report) {
                this.report = report;
        }

        public void addReportSectionProperty(ReportSectionProperty 
reportSectionProperty){
                synchronized (this) {
                        if (getReportSectionProperties() == null)
                                reportSectionProperties = new 
ArrayList<ReportSectionProperty>();
                        reportSectionProperties.add(reportSectionProperty);
                        reportSectionProperty.setReportSection(this);
                }
        }
}<code></pre>

ReportSectionProperty
<pre><code>public class ReportSectionProperty{

    @ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
        @JoinColumn(name="id_report_section")
        private ReportSection reportSection;

        public void setReportSection(ReportSection reportSection) {
                this.reportSection = reportSection;
        }
}<code></pre>
