Hello. I am having a problem with the usage of hibernate and its persistence
mechanism.
I have an Action with a method for creation of an entity type and other
method for updating. This action implements a Preparable and in its method
prepare() I verify if the entity is being created or updated, depending if
an ID came from the jsp form.
public void prepare() throws Exception {
if (getId() == null) {
operador = new Operador();
} else {
operador = getSegurancaService().carregarOperador(id);
}
}
(This Operador is a model with a corresponding table on the database.)
Before saving, I have a condition to verify. I need to verify if there is
another row in the table Operador in the database with the same value in the
field Operador.email, for instance. In my previous systems working with
another languages, I did the following in this case:
- fetch object from database
- update its properties with the form values
- made the necessary validations, and IF the validations pass, save the
object (for instance calling a method Object.save). I am doing manual
validations in the action.
However, for hibernate this does not work, because it considers the updated
object as part of the database. So when I try to fetch in the database to
see if there is already a row with Operador.email field with the value
entered in the form, the Hibernate automatically saves the current operador
before fetching and will ever find a row (the current) with the desired
value for e-mail field.
Is there some way to disable this auto-saving behaviour in Hibernate?
I thought about ever creating a new object to receive the form data, after
that make the validations I need to, and after the validations pass, get the
object I want to update from the database and do a kind of merge between the
new object with the form data and the object from the database;
What do you do in these situations? What do you recommend? thanks.
