Given this config: <entities> <enhancement agent = "true" reflection = "error"/> <cache ref = "strong" level2 = "100m"/> <fetch hollow = "false"/> <persist serialization = "true"/> <cascade-persist always = "true" on-persist = "true" on-commit = "true"/> <dirty-tracking arrays = "true"/> </entities>
I'm not getting PostUpdate changes when a string is added to a list of strings.
All other property changes fire events just fine.
thoughts?
Note: PostUpdate events are fired if the list contains other Entities !
So, the question is whether it is possible to track changes to lists of primitives?
Hmm, digging into this some more, noticed a couple of things:
a) objectdb.conf file was no longer being found in src/main/resources when run by JUnit in IntelliJ, this had been working fine.
- I now need to explicitly set the config file before any tests with:
System.setProperty("objectdb.home", "<full path to src/main/resources>")
b) So, now that I'm sure that objectdb.conf is found
- The config path as set above is printed to the logs, and
- I create instances of > 10 entity classes just to be sure
However, now the system complains:
<pre>
[ObjectDB 2.8.0_04] javax.persistence.PersistenceException
Type au.Person is not enhanced (enhance the type or enable reflection)
(error 304)
at com.objectdb.jpa.EMImpl.persist(EMImpl.java:418)
</pre>
This resolves when I change:
<enhancement agent = "true" reflection = "error"/>
to
<enhancement agent = "true" reflection = "force"/>
So, now that I know I have the correct objectdb.conf file I will revisit the issue of dirty tracking of arrays. However, I have these new concerns:
1) why does objectdb no longer pick up objectdb.conf in src/main/resources?
2) why am I now getting an error regarding enhancement - is this because I'm using openjdk version "1.8.0_212"?
- the documents mention openjdk6 doesn't support runtime enhancement, is this still the case??
3) How can I pre-enhance classes when running junit?
4) How can I pre-enhance classes with Gradle?
Can't seem to get array tracking to work.
Given an entity (class A) with property b_list which is a list of other entities (class B)
When an instance of B is added to the b_list of and instance of A
Then I expect a PostUpdate event to be fired for entity A, but no events are fired.
The documentation suggests a 'makeDirty()' method, but this seems only available on JDO.
Question: Is array tracking only available with the JDO api ?

Yes.

See this manual page regarding where objectdb.conf is searched for. Nothing was changed.

It depends how you enhance your classes.
> How can I pre-enhance classes when running junit?
Enhance the classes before your run JUnit, as usual, regardless of JUnit.
> How can I pre-enhance classes with Gradle?
A Maven and an Ant enhancement are shown here. If you convert it to Gradle and it works please post the result.
> Is array tracking only available with the JDO api ?
Yes. Earlier you mentioned lists. Arrays work differently from lists. Is it another issue?
Please use a separate thread for every topic. Since the subject of this thread is "PostUpdate on array changes", any further discussion of any other issue (e.g. enhancement, configuration) requires a separate thread.
