I want to do a simple thing, just attach and already persisted child to a new parent and save the parent (and therefore the reference):
Role role = new Role(...); manager..store(role) Role loadedRole = manager..load(<role_id>); Account account = new Account(); account.getRoles().add(loadedRole); manager..store(account); You'd think that would be a simple procedure, but I'm getting this somewhat cryptic error. <openjpa-1.0.0-r420667:568756 nonfatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.InvalidStateException: Encountered unmanaged object "org.apache.openjpa.enhance.com$lobbythem$model$Role$pcsubclass-com.lobbythem.model.Role-2" in persistent field "com.lobbythem.model.Account.roles<element:class com.lobbythem.model.Role>" of managed object "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" during flush. However, this field does not allow cascade persist. You cannot flush unmanaged objects.FailedObject: org.apache.openjpa.enhance.com$lobbythem$model$Role$pcsubclass-com.lobbythem.model.Role-2 What is the process for doing this common operation with JPA so it actually works? - Brill -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Help%3A-Attaching-an-already-persisted-object-to-a-new-parent.-tf4776024.html#a13661947 Sent from the OpenJPA Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
