Hey Rick. I'm attempting to re-create it in my test here, but I'm not having any luck. It's something specific in our app.
https://github.com/riptano/hector-jpa/blob/master/src/test/java/com/datastax/hectorjpa/store/SimpleTest.java Test case is embeddedFieldOnlyDirty. Essentially I'm using an open session in view pattern in our webapp which binds and entity manager to the thread via spring. These are the steps that occur, the issue seems to be on flushing during commit. entity manager created transaction started load Customer with embedded phone Embedded phone has it's own StateManager, which points to the Customer's StateManager, as it's parent. This all seems correct transaction commit. Both state managers are still correct. Web UI makes changes to Address object and calls business tier transaction starts em.persist is invoked. At this point both the Customer and Address have correct StateManagers. The state manager on customer shows the address field as dirty, and the state manager on address shows the field that was changed via the web ui as dirty. transaction is committed. When "flush" is invoked on my plugin during the commit operation, address is present, but all fields are null, and the statemanager is not the same instance that was present before the commit operation. It's almost as if the Customer stateManager does not properly cascade to the Address SM during the commit. My explanation above is for the test which demonstrates the issue. Hopefully my test makes the problem I'm having clear. -- todd SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER todd nine| spidertracks ltd | 117a the square po box 5203 | palmerston north 4441 | new zealand P: +64 6 353 3395 E: t...@spidertracks.co.nz W: www.spidertracks.com On Thu, 2011-04-07 at 20:06 -0500, Rick Curtis wrote: > Todd - > > I'm somewhat confused as to where you are running into problems. > Perhaps you can write a small unit test that will better describe what > you're having problems with? > > Thanks, > Rick > > > On Wed, Apr 6, 2011 at 7:42 PM, Todd Nine <t...@spidertracks.com> > wrote: > > Hi all, > I'm having a very difficult time working with embedded > entities in > Cassandra.
