Deleted records while merging

[Agustin Ernesto Cardeilhac Banus]

Hi !. I have the following problem:
I have two entitites:
A] EntityA
B] EntityB
The relation is EntityA [1 -> *] EntityB.
EntityB represents an state from EntityA. But the problem arise when I try to add an instance of EntityB and merge... Strangely, the EntityB record is not inserted... We have another similar problem like this in our project and we don't have a clue how to fix this... If I wasn't clear, please tell me and I'll give more explanation...

Think the framework is doing some inner work I am not aware... Hope to get this solved...
Cheers

Hi,

We'll need to see your entity mappings - either your annotations or your .hbm.xml.

Also, your full entity classes.

Are you using bi-directional or uni-directional for your association?

Thanks,
Richard.

you may need to Check CascadeType on Relationship.

Jana reddyMadam & Richard Chesterwood: Really sorry for not answering... But here I am !...
Won't put all my entity code as there are many fields; will only put some...
The relation between these two entities is: 1 to Many between "SOLICITUDES" and "SOLICITUD_ESTADOS".

[FROM "SOLICITUDES" Entity]
[code=java]public class Solicitudes implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(generator = "aperSolicitudesSeq")
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "aperSolicitudesSeq", 
                       sequenceName = "APER_SOLICITUDES_SEQ", 
                       allocationSize = 1)
    @Column(name = "ID", nullable = false)
    private Long id;
    @Column(name = "TIPO_CARGA")
    private Long tipoCarga;  
    @Column(name = "EMPRESA_SUCURSAL")
    private Long empresaSucursal;
    @Column(name = "EMPRESA_LOCAL")
    private Long empresaLocal;
    @Column(name = "EMPRESA_DIGITO")
    private Long empresaDigito;
    @Column(name = "NRO_TRAMITE")
    private String nroTramite;
    @Column(name = "CODIGO_BARRA")
    private String codigoBarra;
    @Column(name = "SOLICITUD_VISA")
    private Long solicitudVisa;
    
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "solicitudes", cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch= FetchType.LAZY)
    private List<SolicitudProductoPotencial> solicitudProductoPotencialList = new ArrayList<SolicitudProductoPotencial>();
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "solicitudes", cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch= FetchType.LAZY)
    private List<SolicitudProductoPotAud> solicitudProductoPotAudList = new ArrayList<SolicitudProductoPotAud>();
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "solicitudes")
    private List<SolicitudAdjuntos> solicitudAdjuntosList = new ArrayList<SolicitudAdjuntos>();
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "solicitudes", cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch= FetchType.LAZY)
    private List<SolicitudDatos> solicitudDatosList = new ArrayList<SolicitudDatos>();
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "solicitudes", cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch= FetchType.LAZY)
    private List<SolicitudPersonas> solicitudPersonasList = new ArrayList<SolicitudPersonas>();
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "solicitudes", cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch= FetchType.LAZY)
    private List<SolicitudEstados> solicitudEstadosList = new ArrayList<SolicitudEstados>(); ==> this is the end of the relation

[FROM "SOLICITUD_ESTADOS" Entity]

@Table(name = "SOLICITUD_ESTADOS")
public class SolicitudEstados implements Serializable {
    private Timestamp fecha;
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE, generator = "SEQ_SOLICITUD_ESTADOS")
    @SequenceGenerator(name = "SEQ_SOLICITUD_ESTADOS", sequenceName = "APER_SOLICITUD_ESTADOS_SEQ", allocationSize=1)    
    private Long id;
    @ManyToOne(fetch= FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "ID_ESTADO", referencedColumnName = "ID")
    private Estados estados;
    @ManyToOne(cascade = { CascadeType.ALL }, fetch= FetchType.LAZY)
    @JoinColumn(name = "ID_SOLICITUD", referencedColumnName = "ID")
    private Solicitudes solicitudes;
    private String version;    
    @Column(name="LEGAJO_USUARIO")
    private Long legajoUsuario;
    private String comentario;  

As seen in the code, I am using bi-drectional for my association... So would it be possible to get a record deleted while executing a merge operation ?...

Thanks for answering... Cheers from Córdoba, Argentina...
