Transaction Problem using Spring+Hibernate

[aikkee]

Hi,
I have encountered problems using declarative transaction demarcation. I have a parent-child class "binded" using foreign key in Hibernate. In my business manager class, I have a save() method to save both the parent and child object. However, I realised that the Hibernate session closes (with a transaction completion message) after the parent class is being saved. To confirm that the transaction did not propagate to the child, i through an exception at the child's DAO class.

I am quite sure that there are some attribute that I did not set for my dataSource bean or transaction manager. Below is a small segment of my application context. Appreciate any help offered. Tks.



<bean id="myDataSource" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName"><value>MY_DS</value></property>
</bean>

<bean id="mySessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate.LocalSessionFact oryBean">
<property name="dataSource"><ref local="myDataSource"/></property>
<property name="mappingResources">
<list>
<value>User.hbm</value>
<value>OneOffFA.hbm</value>
</list>
</property>

If I understand correctly You tries to save parent and child separatelly. This is not proper approach since Hibernate usually handles this cascading operations from parent to child. Please show Your mapping documents and code in Your business save method.
I guess You saves Parent, thus your child is saved because of hibernate cascading and next, You tries to save (second time) child.

Hi Artur,
You are right. Here's my mapping & code, pls advise. tks.

<hibernate-mapping package="domain">
<class name="domain.Master" table="MASTER" schema="apps">
<id name="transactionNo" type="java.lang.String" column="TRANS_NO">
<generator class="assigned" />
</id>
<property name="remarks" column="REM" type="java.lang.String"/>
</class>
<class name="domain.OneOffFA" table="ONE_OFF_FA" schema="apps">
<id name="transactionNo" column="CLAIM_NO" type="java.lang.String">
<generator class="foreign">
<param name="property">master</param>
</generator>
</id>
<property name="type" column="TYPE" type="java.lang.String" not-null="true" />
<property name="amount" column="AMT" type="double" not-null="true"/>
<property name="reason" column="REASON" type="java.lang.String" not-null="false"/>
<one-to-one name="master" cascade="all" outer-join="true"/>
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>




public void save&#40;OneOffFA aFA&#41; throws DataAccessException
&#123;
String claimNo = &#40;String&#41;getHibernateTemplate&#40;&#41;.save&#40;aFA.getSchemeA pplication&#40;&#41;&#41;;
getHibernateTemplate&#40;&#41;.save&#40;aFA, claimNo&#41;;

Hi Artur,



<one-to-one name="master" cascade="all" outer-join="true"/>

String claimNo = &#40;String&#41;getHibernateTemplate&#40;&#41;.save&#40;aFA.getSchemeA pplication&#40;&#41;&#41;;
getHibernateTemplate&#40;&#41;.save&#40;aFA, claimNo&#41;;


As I said. All Your operations are cascaded. Replace Your save method with:


getHibernateTemplate&#40;&#41;.save&#40;aFA,&#41;;


Should work.

Hi Artur,
I tried, it will insert into OneOffFA but tries to update the Master records. So it ends up that I have a OneOffFA record but no master record. Is there any thing wrong with my mapping?
