Deleting CMR OC4J 9.04.0 - 9.0.4.1 - 10.1.2.0 - 10.1.3.0 - 10.1.3.1

Question

I've a simple code that work correctly on Oracle iAS 10g Release 1
but not on Release 2 or Release 3.
We have already received a patch from Oracle for the Release 2
Today we are requesting a patch for the Release 3 as the bug remains on the NEW Release.
Unfortunately, Oracle Support didn't want to identify our problem as a bug of their J2EE container because this behaviour is considered as normal.
So I need our help to find the J2EE 1.3 (we use only EJB 2.0) documentation speaking about deletion of Entity behind a CMR.

Answer 1

Below I will explain the bug we have found at the beginning :
We noticed changes between iAS 9.0.4.0.0 and 9.0.4.1.0 in CMP-CMR behavior.
When we remove an element from a CMR collection (child part of a relationship) the 9
.0.4.1.0 version of OC4J generate an exception. Perhaps the OC4J attempt to upda
te the chield property which reference the parent key to NULL. So we have an OR
A-01407 SQL Exception because this field is mandatory. This problem did not app
ears with the first release of OC4J 10g.
A simple testcase to test this problem
two tables :
create table a
id number(11,0) NOT NULL,
lib varchar2(500) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE A ADD ( CONSTRAINT A_PK PRIMARY KEY (ID)
create table b
id number(11,0) NOT NULL,
idJoinA number(11,0) NOT NULL,
lib varchar2(500) NOT NULL
ALTER TABLE B ADD ( CONSTRAINT B_PK PRIMARY KEY (ID)
ALTER TABLE B ADD ( CONSTRAINT BJOINA FOREIGN KEY (idJoinA) REFERENCES A (ID);
We create two entity : one for table a and one for table b with one cmr 1 - N
When we execute this part of code :
ALocal entityA = getALocalHome().findByPrimaryKey(45);
for(Iterator iter = entityA.getCollectionB.iterator();iter.hasNext();)
BLocal entityB = (BLocal)iter.next();
entityB.remove();
we catch :
javax.ejb.EJBException: Error saving state: ORA-01407: cannot update ("A"."IDJOINA") to NULL
