If you are trying to persist an Entity that has a relationship to an (readonly) Entity that already exists in your DB, you should ensure that the existing Entity is a part of your persistence context (ie managed). OpenJPA is most likely complaining because we encountered an unmanaged field when persisting your non readonly Entity to the DB.
So : ReadOnlyEntity e = em.find(...); // I assume this is different than what you are currently doing. NewEntity ne = new NewEntity(); ne.setRelationship(e); em.persist(e); Thanks, Rick On Tue, Mar 11, 2014 at 11:26 AM, Alice <ashanai...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hello, > > We are running into issues with saving entities with fields that reference > read only data.
