[jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-1677) "InvalidStateException: Detected reentrant flush..." while building an error message for an earlier exception

["Vermeulen (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1677?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12874640#action_12874640 ] 

Vermeulen commented on OPENJPA-1677:
------------------------------------

Even worse, when I first merge a new entity that has the required OneToMany relation set, the reentrant flush exception goes away...

I will soon attach an SSCCE which can be built with Maven and shows the problem.

> This error seems to only seems turn up when several criteria are met...
> I am calling entityManager.merge for a new entity that has a required ManyToOne field set to null. This naturally gives an error like "org.apache.openjpa.persistence.InvalidStateException: The field "test" of instance "TestEntity " contained a null value; the metadata for this field specifies that nulls are illegal."
> But under certain circumstances, while building the error message of this error a new error occurs which masks the original error message. This message is extremely confusing to me.
> When OpenJPA builds the error message for the original InvalidStateException it seems to call the toString() method of my entity, which in it's turn gives the "Detected reentrant flush" when:
>  1) inside the toString() method of my entity I acces the id field
>  2) the id field is annotated with @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
> The stack trace I get is:
> Exception in thread "main" <openjpa-2.0.0-r422266:935683 fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.InvalidStateException: Detected reentrant flush.  Make sure your flush-time instance callback methods or event listeners do not invoke any operations that require the in-progress flush to complete.

> This second error goes away and I get the original error when I either remove the access tot the id field inside my toString() method or when I simply use @GeneratedValue with the default strategy.
