I have made a simple example below that doesn't seem to be working. It creates an entity (Person) over two independent JSF action methods:
@Stateful | @Name("register") | public class RegisterBean implements Register { | | @PersistenceContext(type=EXTENDED) | private EntityManager em; | | @In(create=true) @Out | private Person person; | | private String firstName; | private String lastName; | | public String firstName() { | | person.setFirstName(getFirstName()); | | em.persist(person); | | return "success"; | | } | | public String lastName() { | | person.setLastName(getLastName()); | | em.merge(person); | | return "success"; | | } | | @Remove | @Destroy | public void destroy() { | | } | | } I have a few questions on this example, but first, am I doing this correctly? Do I have the persist() and merge() in the correct places? Or should I remove the persist() and merge() and just have one persist() in lastName() - assuming lastName() is the second method to be called? Is an EXTENDED persistence context correct here? I'm getting an error in the second method, saying that "Exception during INVOKE_APPLICATION(5): javax.persistence.PersistenceException: org.hibernate.PropertyValueException: not-null property references a null or transient value: " Here's the problem. When I call the firstName() method, followed by the lastName() method, the lastName() method seems to create a brand new Person. This Person gets a lastName, does not pick up the firstName from the previous method invocation, and triggers a PropertyValueException because of the validation annotation on the entity...whoa! What am I doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. P.S. I don't call the destroy() method anywhere in the code at all. And, while I define destroy in the business interface, I don't define the annotations there...should I?
