Updating Entity Bean (URGENT)

Hello,
I have an entity bean created in my jdeveloper based on a table in my database, I have added two colomns to my table how do I make my entity synchronize(update) with the database table and generate GET and SET methods for the(new colomns)in the altered table.
regards,
Hussam Galal

EJB spec does not allow update of the primary key. Any other update should be fine.

Marina

  • Updating entity bean requires lot of effort in Jdeveloper

    Is there a simple way of updating entity bean when a table is modified in database?

    I forgot the 13" had the internal battery. The battery could still be the problem though. Here is a guide to open the computer and check it.

  • External Database Updates Automatically Updating Entity Beans

    Hi,
    I have a Java GUI which displays the contents of a table. One row is displayed on the GUI for each row in the table.
    The data is accessed by the Java GUI from the table using a container Managed Entity Bean.
    If I insert a row in the table from Oracle's SQL command prompt, can the GUI be automatically refreshed to display the new row that was inserted in the table i.e. does weblogic container receive any message which can be trapped by the entity bean to automatically reload the content of the table.

    Hi Dinesh,
    I think there is a requirements/design problem here.
    First, it's hardly possible to implement a callbacks
    from the DB layer to a container layer.
    Second, what would happend to the GUI if many
    changes to the database ocure simultaneously?
    I thinks this is a GUI user who has to request
    a refresh when it's necessary.

  • Urgent: Can't lookup entity bean

    Dear all,
    I define a business process in workflow engine, which invoke a java class to get
    DB data through CMP entity bean. The entity bean was packed in to a ear and was
    workable/callable within the same ear.
    However, when the workflow engine can't invoke the entity bean, the workflow engine
    always throw exception as following.
         javax.naming.LinkException: . Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException:
    Unable to resolve 'app/ejb/ConsignmentEntityBean.jar#Consignments/local-home'
    Resolved: 'app/ejb' Unresolved:'ConsignmentEntityBean.jar#Consignments' ; remaining
    name 'ConsignmentEntityBean.jar#Consignments/local-home'
    I think the problem may occur in deployment/configuration. Since the problem is
    very urgent, anyone can help me? To all developers, How do you package/deploy
    Entity Bean in Integration Server?
    Thx,
    Philip

    I solved this.
    Since I was testing the action code only, I didn't define a navigation entry corresponding to the action string returned for this button:
    <h:commandButton value="Add" style="height:21px; width:51px;font-size:8pt; font-color: black;" action="#{resourceBean.addAction}">
    </h:commandButton>After I added a nav definition, it worked. I don't know why at this point. I suspect a key step in the lifecycle was pre-empted...someone else can probably explain why. If I get a chance to research it after I'm done with my project, I'll update this post.
    Thanks.

  • Does an entity bean update result in ALL DB columns being updated?

    Hello,
    If I update a single field in my entity bean, will all the columns for the DB row be updated? -OR will only the changed column value be updated?
    Thank,
    Keith

    Only fields detected as persistent-dirty will be updated in the database record.

  • EJB3 entity bean update, best practice

    I have an ejb3 entity bean that models a time that can be reserved in a booking system.
    I need a way to reserve the time for a specific user. Ofcourse the reservation should not overwrite if the time has already been reserved by another user.
    What is the best/cleaneste way to provide this service?
    I have thought of the following ways.
    I could put a version field on the entity. When the user is set in the frontend the entitybean will check that the time is not already reserved. If not it will be sent backup to the stateless session bean for persisting. If the time has been reserved by another user in the meantime JPA will throw an exception since the version doesn't match any more. The frontend can then show the error to the user.
    I could make the frontend call a method in a stateless session bean to reserve the time. The function could take the times primary id and the users primary id and loaded them from persistence. Then check if the time is already reserver else set the user and persist the time again. This should ofcourse be within a transaction and possibly also use a version attribute on the entity.

    Only fields detected as persistent-dirty will be updated in the database record.

  • Can't Update with CMP entity bean (psi-ri)

    Hello!
    Has anybody got entitybeans to work thorougly with psi-ri -persistence provider?
    Our entities Insert and Delete as they should be, but we haven't got them to Update anything.
    I have a feeling that this has something to do with transactions, but I haven't found any answers yet.
    All help is more than appreciated

    yes, Entity beans with psi-ri works fine. In fact I have written a couple of them which is fine.

  • Urgent!Poor performance in Entity beans

    we're using Weblogic 5.1, Oracle 8i.(both installed in Solaris 5.8) We
    found that the performance of our entity beans is poor, the reason we
    guess is because when we issue a select statement, the jdbc, at the same
    time, issue a update statement, that's why the response time is slow.
    (By the way,we use oracle thin driver to connect.)
    I know we can set autocommit to false but our beans are cmp,so we can't
    set properties in connection pool.What can we do then?Can we set any
    transaction attributes in our ejb,so we can solve our problem?
    Thx!
    Pete

    A few issues with the linked article:
    " 1. Where ever possible, using Entity bean with CMP over Entity bean with BMP, will ensure increase in performance... Tuned CMP entity beans offer better performance than BMP entity beans."
    Bull. Every time I have seen some statement like the above it has never contained any associated proof nor explaination of how a container vendor's code can interact with a DB any better than mine.
    The only means by which a container vendor can generically improve the performance of DB interactivity is to not do it, namely by caching the data and monitoring modification. This is rarely used due to mitigating factors such as any case where the container does not have sole access and omniscience over the DB.
    "Moving towards the CMP based approach provides database independence since it does not contain any database storage APIs within it."
    Ahh yes, lets trade in EJB container independence for database independence. It's interesting that the biggest proponents of CMP (and the ones who pushed it into the spec) are the biggest container vendors. Database storage APIs??? Perhaps JDBC and "select * from USER where..." are somehow viewed as database specific.

  • Wrong version of an entity bean object being updated

    We are having a problem with an entity bean that uses bean managed persistence. The "order" entity bean has
    been used as part of our Order Routing System for the last 2 years with no problems. The entity bean is
    accessed via calls from a "Order Manager" session bean. No change has been done to the entity bean but the
    frequency of calls from the session bean to update the entity bean have increased significantly.
    The "order" entity bean wraps an Order object that contains order properties (i.e. id, quantity, price,
    version, etc). The entity bean has a "void setOrder(Order param)" function that writes the Order to a database
    and a "Order getOrder()" function that clones and returns the internal Order object. The "ejbLoad()" function
    reads the Order object from the database and the "ejbStore()" function is not implemented.
    The "OrderEntityPK ejbFindByPrimaryKey()" function checks if the order entity primary key (an "int") exists
    on the database.
    We are using the SilverStream 3.5 application server as our EJB container. According to the SilverStream manual
    it does not maintain a pool of idle/unused entity beans, instead it instantiates beans as requested.
    Our problem is:
    1) The wrong version of the entity object is sometimes being updated (i.e. an old instance of the order entity is being
    picked up and updated on the database).
    2) We sometimes get a TransactionRequired exception thrown when we have concurrent updates to two different
    objects of the entity bean.
    Any idea as to what our problem could be?
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    The following are the main code snippets:
    Original Code
    Session Bean A
    Method 1 --- gets entity Bean B and calls a method on a different object passing this entity bean
              in as a parameter to enable a method on this bean to be called.
    EntityBean lOrderEntity = findOrderEntity(callerUnixLogin, currOrderId);
                   currOrder = lOrderEntity.getOrder();
                   //Logic to update the currOrder object via a method call.
                   persistManager.persistOrder(lOrderEntity, callerUnixLogin, currOrder, psTransactionType);
         persistManager.persistOrder Method:
                   lOrderEntity.setOrder(callerUnixLogin, order);
         findOrderEntity method:
    OrderEntity lOrderEntity = null;
              OrderEntityBeanPK orderPK = new OrderEntityBeanPK(orderId);
              try
                   if (orderEntityHome == null)
                        connectToOrderEntityBean(callerUnixLogin);
                   lOrderEntity = orderEntityHome.findByPrimaryKey(orderPK);
              ... etc
    Current Code
    Session Bean C
    Method 2 ---- calls method 1 in Session Bean A
    Calls to method 2 above happens in quick succession.
    OrderEntityBean class
    ... important methods ...
         private Order order = null;
         public OrderEntityBeanPK ejbFindByPrimaryKey(OrderEntityBeanPK primaryKey)
              throws FinderException, RemoteException, DBOException
              try
                   orderObjectManager.orderIdExists(primaryKey.orderId);
              catch (OMOrderValidationException exc)
                   throw new FinderException(exc.getMessage());
              return primaryKey;
         public void setOrder(String userUnixLogin, Order newOrder)
              throws EJBException, RemoteException, DBOException, OMFormattingException, OMOrderValidationException
              callerUnixLogin = userUnixLogin;
              int version = newOrder.getOrderVersion().intValue();
              if (order.getOrderVersion().intValue() == version)
                   order = null;
                   order = newOrder;
                   Integer newVersion = new Integer(version + 1);
                   order.setOrderVersion(newVersion);
                   newVersion = null;
                   order.setSysUser(callerUnixLogin);
                   orderObjectManager.updateOrder(callerUnixLogin, order);
              else
                   Debug.Print(userUnixLogin, "OrderEntityBean.setOrder: wrong version number for order " + newOrder.getOrdId() +
                        ": expected " + order.getOrderVersion() + " and got " + newOrder.getOrderVersion(), 0);
                   throw new OMOrderValidationException("wrongVersion", order, order.getOrdId(), IName.Order.VERSION, newOrder.getOrderVersion());
         public Order getOrder()
              throws EJBException, RemoteException
    return ((Order)order.clone());
    The following transactions exists for the entity bean ...
    Required:
         create and setOrder methods
    Not Supported
         findByPrimary and getOrder methods

    "The entity bean has a "void setOrder(Order param)" function that writes the Order to a database"
    This functionality should be performed in the ejbStore method().
    "a "Order getOrder()" function that clones and returns the internal Order object."
    Sounds reasonable, except for the cloning part.
    "The "ejbLoad()" function reads the Order object from the database"
    Cool.
    ""ejbStore()" function is not implemented."
    Whoops. Looks like your setOrder method is doing too much. It should do the inverse of getOrder (namely, setting the interal Order object), nothing more. Defer the persistence code to the ejbStore method.
    "According to the SilverStream manual it does not maintain a pool of idle/unused entity beans, instead it instantiates beans as requested."
    Manual? What's that? Assuming that is correct, better hope you don't ever get a high load. You might wanna look into JBoss.
    "2) We sometimes get a TransactionRequired exception thrown when we have concurrent updates to two different objects of the entity bean."
    How can you have concurrent access to two different objects?? Concurrency is inherently applicable to only one object.
    In summary:
    Write your beans properly, ejbLoad populates the bean with data, ejbStore persists the bean's data.
    Get a better (and possibly free) appserver.

  • Will updates to an EJB3 entity bean update ONLY changed columns?

    Hello,
    If you have an EJB3 entity bean that maps to a table, and then you change the value of ONE of the fields in the entity bean, will each column in the row be updated, OR just the column that changed in the row?
    Thanks

    Only fields detected as persistent-dirty will be updated in the database record.

  • CMP entity bean update after database update

    I'm new to JDeveloper and J2EE. Since JDev 10.1.3 is now production software I finally got started with it. Everything was quite simple to achieve however I have one problem.
    My current setup is faily easy. I have a statelss session bean and a CMP entity bean using TopLink (both EJB 2.1). Getting them both created went smooth and having the two talk was as easy as pie thanks to Jdev.
    The problem I have is with the entity bean. I'm using a custom finder method to retrieve records using non-PK fields. This works like a charm and I'm getting the data I need. But when I update the data in the database (OracleXE) and I rerun the client I get the old data. The only way for me to get new data is to restart the embedded OC4J server in JDev.
    How can I have the entity bean updated by changes in the database?

    Thanks Avi!
    I spent some time with the documentation and I see I can configure the cache. However how to do this is not clear to me. I have the impression that most of it relates to BMP entity beans.
    Apparantly there is a DoNotCheckCache method I can invoke on the query, but I have no idea how to achieve this...

  • Urgent: Entity Bean question

    Hi,
    I am using an entity beans to store and load records in a table. When I save records to the table I store them in an order of Primary key ID, but when loading the entity bean this order is not being preserved. Is there any way I can specify what the order (ascending or descending) the entiry bean needs to load records?
    Thanks.

    Dunno what exactly are you asking.
    I mean how are u making bulk entity bean save records?
