Hi all, I still got his problem and can't seem to resolve it so I'll try again to see if anyone has any tips. set up is like this I've got a web service that can fetch large files from either ftp or http, when a file is fetched with one of these protocols, a new thread is started and downloads the file. Before the thread is started a new entry in the database is entered, after the download is complete we fetch the db entry and update the entry to say where the file was stored and size and set state to Finished. This works fine in a "stand alone" mode. But when we have an application that asks for the status(say every 2 sec ), by fetching the database entry and looking to see if that state of the db entry is finished, the update of the database entry never happens. The thread that should update the db entry has it's own EntityManager. The bethod that fetches the dn entry does not use a transaction, just entitymanger instance.
Does anyone have any tips on how to resolve this?? cheers, Håkon 2010/1/15 Håkon Sagehaug <hakon.sageh...@uni.no> > Hi > > Will adding a version and locking properties to the entities help with this > matter? > > cheers, Håkon > > 2010/1/13 Håkon Sagehaug <hakon.sageh...@uni.no> > > Hi Simone, >> >> The update does not raise any exceptions.
