[jira] Commented: (OPENJPA-177) When using NOT NULL constraint on foreign key it is not possible to use CascadeType.ALL and GeneratedId

Abe White commented on OPENJPA-177:
-----------------------------------

OpenJPA will insert records in the order that you persist the corresponding objects.  When you persist in an order that would violate foreign key constraints, OpenJPA attempts to insert null and then update the foreign key value in a separate statement.  If you use non-nullable constraints, though, you must persist your objects in the correct order.

> When using on entity Application
> 	@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
> 	@JoinColumn(name = "C_PERSON_ID", nullable=false)
> 	@ForeignKey
> 	private Person person;
> and on entity Person using generated ID, it fails on inserting Application because of performing db actions in this order:
> INSERT INTO T_APPLICATION (C_ID, C_APPLICATION_NUMBER, C_APPLIED_DATE, C_STATUS) VALUES (:1, :2, :3, :4) - here it tries to insert null value as 		C_PERSON_ID, which is not permited because of nullable=false declaration. This declaration creates NOT NULL constraint on C_PERSON_ID.
> INSERT INTO NSVISP.T_PERSON (C_ID, C_BIRTH_DATE, C_FIRST_NAME, C_LAST_NAME) VALUES (:1, :2, :3, :4)
> UPDATE NSVISP.T_APPLICATION SET C_PERSON_ID = :1 WHERE C_ID = :2
> Error reported from DB:
> org.apache.openjpa.lib.jdbc.ReportingSQLException: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("T_APPLICATION"."C_PERSON_ID")
> Is there any chance to change the order in which this operations are executed? On this type of constraint we have to insert Person before inserting Application and include the generated Person Id into insert statement for Application. Otherwise we have to deffer the NOT NULL constraint which can be dangerous and it is not defered initialy.
