EO entity level validations being executed multiple times

Question

Hi,
I'm using JDev 10.1.3.4, BC, JSF
I have defined multiple entity level method validators in my entity object. On commit I get the desired results except for the fact that each of my method validators runs multiple times when they should only run once. So I end up with twice the method validator messages that I should. And if I put any additional messaging in in the validators themselves I end up with 10 times the desired messages.
What are some of the reasons that would cause this looping through the validators. I assume I have done something to cause this but can not figure out what it is. Any ideas on what I should look for?
Note : Also using JHeadstart but I don't think it should be a factor at the entity level.
Thanks,
Jim

Answer 1

Hi,
1) Set the Foreign key using setAttribute Methods ? When u create a VO based on Multiple EO's, there should be some relationship between those 8 EO's like Primary key & Foregin key. And when u perform Commit on this all the value from ur beans will get saved to the database. But the Foreign u need to set independently using setAttribute method becoz it wont get saved by its own.
2) If i'm doing the validations at EO level, those setters and getters will be called before the Create(), Update() and Delete()
methods in the EOImpl class. Is that true?Yes, you are right it will get called for create and update operation but not for Delete.
