Problems in Update - Urgent

Question

I have four objects -
Brand (1 : M) Product ( 1 : M ) Product_Market (M : 1) Market
I use only one service to update all of these together
... service.update(product)
The flow is like this -
1. Get Product, Get Brand, Get Market as
ClientSession.executeQuery("query", class, args);
2. Clone all objects as
clientSession.copyObject(object, policy)
where policy is to retain PK and Cascade all parts.
3.Modify these objects as
Brand.setName(NewName)
Product.setBrand(Brand)
Brand.addProduct(Product)
Market.setName(NewName)
new ProductMarket()
ProductMarket.setMarket(Market)
ProductMarket.setProduct(Product)
Product.AddMarket(ProductMarket)
Market.addProduct(ProductMarket)
service.update(product) as
deepMergeClone(product)
commit.
What I find is the Brand Gets Updated, ProductMarket gets added but Market is not getting Updated.
Would appreciate any clues in this regard.
Thanks.

Answer 1

This is a snippet from my Mapping file.
I beleive market is not read-only, nor is the name.
Have double-checked that the Name that I am setting in different from the one already in the database.
