Hans-

If I understand it right - above lookup code will ensure that there is only a single EM within a JTA transaction even if I call the method several times
from several methods within the TX.

Yes, it should. You might want to print out the System.identityHashCode(broker) to be sure, but it looks like this will replicate the transaction association logic that we perform automatically in a JEE5 environment.

So does the requirement to set the "multithreaded" property remain by this
usage scenario?

No, not so long as a single Broker is ever used by a single thread (which should be the case as long as the same JTA transaction is not used from multiple threads).

I'm not sure if all of you know, but we are utilizing OpenJPA within a
J2EE1.4 container for EJB3 migration purposes. In this "special" case we
are using JPA in "application managed" mode but with synchronized JTA
transactions of the container.

the current implementation holds a single EMF as a static member in memory for the whole JVM (there is definitely only 1 VM currently running) and every SLSB method called starts with creating a new EntityManager ... here is a code I think Patrick suggested to ensure synchronization of the EM
with the JTA tx of the container:

final BrokerFactory bf = OpenJPAPersistence.toBrokerFactory(emf);

// the broker is part of a  JTA  managed tx
//       look for an existing Broker on the tx
final Broker b = bf.newBroker(bf.getConfiguration()
                        .getConnectionUserName(), bf.getConfiguration()
                        .getConnectionPassword(), true,
bf.getConfiguration().getConnectionRetainModeConstant(), true);

// do some JPA configuration setup. Logic stolen from
// EntityManagerFactoryImpl.
b.setAutoDetach(AutoDetach.DETACH_CLOSE, true);
b.setAutoDetach(AutoDetach.DETACH_ROLLBACK, true);
b.setDetachedNew(false);

return OpenJPAPersistence.toEntityManager(b);

I don't see how the error could be data-related.
One thing: if you are using the same EMF from multiple threads,
do  you have the "openjpa.Multithreaded" property explicitly
set  to  "true" in your persistence.xml (or however you are
configuring  the  EMF)?


Just to make sure there is no confusion. What I think Marc meant was
"using the same EM from multiple threads". The openjpa.Multithreading
property should not apply to multiple threads accessing the
EntityManagerFactory, which is always thread-safe. The property
should refer to multiple threads accessing the same EntityManager,
which is not thread-safe by default.

Marc,

No, in GlassFish (GF) it shouldn't be the case, but there could be
more than 1 EMF created at the same time. The test case uses
stateless session bean for accessing EM, so there is no guarantee
that the same bean instance serves the 1st method (with a
successful persist) and the 2nd (with a failed query). But what's
worth noting, that in both cases, mine and Hans's it's the query
that causes the problems).

BTW, I need to test again without tracing - it can slow things down
and hide the problem.

In a normal J2EE app, the same EntityManager will never be used
concurrently from multiple threads. That might also be the case
in  your environment, but it would be interesting to see if the
problem  ever crops up after you enable this property.

Marc,

Does OpenJPA figures out by itself that it is running in a
multithreaded environment when used in an app- or web-server? Or
do  you expect users to always specify this setting when they
decide to  deploy it to a multi-threaded container?

thanks,

to a problem like  this.

hm.. sounds strange. could it bet he case that the error
message   openjpa is
printing is only a subsequent error of another one below/before?

as the JNDI binding did not really work (as you can remember:
everytime I am
accessing the EMF from JNDI it is initialized again and again)
so  I  did a
quick-and-dirty solution for the PoC of OpenJPA integration:
I   saved the EMF
as a static field instead to JNDI, i.e. the first time it is
accessed it is
created - then every client throughout my app should access
the   same static
EMF instance. As there is definitely only a single JVM this
shouldn't make
problems I suggest...

Additionally I did not see any data in the logs that is
indicating  that a
second EMF is initialized or sth. like that. The strange thing
is  that it
worked several invocations before and after .. could it be a
data- related
problem? Anyway, I was not able to reproduce the error....

Hans-

There are only two possible conditions in which I can see this
problem happening:

1. the class "com.lbslogics.ims.model.PositionLog" is not
loadable in
the current environment's classloader.
2. the PositionLog class was registered with the
MetaDataRepository
during the lookup process.

Since the same code has been executed hundreds of times via
the MDB
prior to this error, neither of these seems very plausible.
Are you
sure that the exact same EntityManagerFactory (in the same
JVM) has
been used prior to this error to execute the same method? The
fact
that it looks like we are parsing the query for the first
time  (since
it appears we are making a new internal parse compilation from
it)
makes it look like that particular method has not yet been
called for
that EntityManager's EntityManagerFactory.

If this is something you can reproduce, it would be
interesting  if we
could see more logging output (enabled by setting the "kodo.Log"
property to "DefaultLevel=TRACE"), especially those messages
that are
on the MetaData channel.

com.lbslogics.ims.model.PositionLog.findById(PositionLog.java:
175)

    at
com.lbslogics.ims.persistence.ejb.EventBean.getPositionLog
(EventBean.java:2875)
         [ ... some more ]

The corresponding EventBean is a SLSB (EJB2.1) and the
method  looks
like
that:

        /**
     *
     * @return
     */
public PositionLog getPositionLog(final EntityManager em) {
        final PositionLog log = PositionLog.findById(em,


getPositionLogId

());
        return log;
    }

and the Positionlog.findById is a static method which
encapsulates
some
of the "technical work":

        public static PositionLog findById(EntityManager em,
Long
plId)
{
        Query q = em.createNamedQuery("PositionLog.byId");
        q.setParameter("id", plId);

        try {
            return (PositionLog) q.getSingleResult();
        } catch (javax.persistence.NoResultException e) {
            logger.finest("findById: did not find result for


id=" +

plId);

            return null;
        }
    }

This method or better the top-level entry point of this
method is
called
several hundred times for different records, all invoked by a
MDB.
Could
it be some concurrency issue because after several hundred
invocations
only a single exception occured?
