[jira] Resolved: (OPENJPA-635) child record foreign key column set to null on deletion of parent record even foreign key delete action is set to "restrict"

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

Michael Dick resolved OPENJPA-635.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Cannot Reproduce

The latest versions of OpenJPA handle this case before the SQL goes to the database.

You'll see something like this instead : 
<openjpa-2.2.0-SNAPSHOT-r422266:1073201M fatal user error> org.apache.openjpa.persistence.InvalidStateException: The field "parent" of instance "org.apache.openjpa.persistence.relations.CascadingOneManyChild@6c89db9a" contained a null value; the metadata for this field specifies that nulls are illegal.
	at org.apache.openjpa.kernel.SingleFieldManager.preFlush(SingleFieldManager.java:558)
	at org.apache.openjpa.kernel.SingleFieldManager.preFlush(SingleFieldManager.java:496)
	at org.apache.openjpa.kernel.StateManagerImpl.preFlush(StateManagerImpl.java:2971)
	at org.apache.openjpa.kernel.PNewState.beforeFlush(PNewState.java:40)

I'm resolving the issue as cannot reproduce - since the original problem only occurred with Kodo. If there's another use case for the patch, please reopen.

> When using an inverse key collection mapping, if you delete the parent 
> object, the FK column of the corresponding child record(s) are set to null. 
> If there is a null constraint on the column (as is normally the case in a FK 
> column), this will result in a null constraint error.  But we expect to get FK constraint error.
> For example,
>     @ManyToOne(optional=false)
>     @JoinColumn(name="PARENT_ID", nullable=false)
>     @ForeignKey
>     private OneManyParent parent;
> If we set  "nullable=false" in JoinColumn,  then it throws FK constraint exception as expected.
> But since the default deleteAction value for  "ForeignKey" annotation is "restrict", even "nullable=false" is not set, it should behave as "restrict".
> Note: for "Column" and "JoinColumn", the default value is "nullable=true".
> I checked RelationToManyInverseKeyFieldStrategy.delete(), ForeignKey deleteAction is not evaluated at all. It only check if Column is nullable.
> I will try to attach test case soon.
