Bean data not synchronized

Question

Hello,
I have an BMP entity bean which holds fields from main table and underling table
i.e CARD (int cardID,String catName,int catID,date, inserted,...) and CATEGORY(int catID,String catName,...)
ejbLoad selects both ID and name from underling table together with everything else..
after a while I write new catID to the bean and ejbStore updates CARD object's catID field in DB,but ejbLoad isn't called after and catName remains old and catID is new
What would be a solution to keep all fields in bean synchronized with db state,which should be done by ejbLoad method
Hopefully problem is clear enough
Thanks in advance,
Roland

Make sure that you're not using the NotSupported transaction attribute in your deployment descriptor. Use Requires or RequiresNew on the method in your entity class.
<ejb-jar>
<assembly-descriptor>
<container-transaction>
<method>
<ejb-name>CardBMP</ejb-name>
<method-name>*</method-name>
</method>
<trans-attribute>RequiresNew</trans-attribute>
</container-transaction>
</assembly-descriptor>
</ejb-jar>
