Entitymanager works chaotically, do not merge in some cases - eclipselink

Question

Seriously, i cannot believe this:
I use entityManager in Vaadin framework. Implemented this pattern (ThreadLocal and filter for generating entityManager for every request):
https://vaadin.com/book/-/page/jpacontainer.hibernate.html
If i write a test it is works like charm:
EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("applicLiquidator.applicLiquidator");
log.trace("created entityManageFactory:" + entityManagerFactory);
EntityManager entityManager = entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();
CaseEntity case= entityManager.getReference(CaseEntity .class, 1);
entityManager.detach(case);
case.setCompanyFullName("TEST1");
entityManager.getTransaction().begin();
CaseEntity newCase=entityManager.merge(case);
entityManager.getTransaction().commit();
However in the application server it works entirely other way, i logged ever information and seems everything is OK, the entity has the good values!
public static int saveCase(CaseEntity case, boolean sameTransaction) throws DALException {
EntityTransaction transaction = null;
try {
EntityManager entityManager = EntityManagerUtil.getEntityManagerLIQUIDATOR();
if (sameTransaction == false) {
transaction = entityManager.getTransaction();
transaction.begin();
}
log.info("-------BEFORE PERSIST: CASE ENTTIY COMAPNY NAME: " + ugy.getFelszamolandoCegTeljesnev());
ugy=entityManager.merge(ugy);
if (sameTransaction == false) {
transaction.commit();
}
log.info("---------AFTER PERSIST: CASE ENTTIY COMAPNY NAME: " + ugy.getFelszamolandoCegTeljesnev());
return case.getId();
} catch (Exception ex) {
log.error("The entity saved do not completed", ex);
try {
transaction.rollback();
log.info("Rollback was success");
} catch (Exception rollbex) {
log.error("Rollback failed", rollbex);
}
log.info("Entity Saved succesfully!");
throw new DALException(ex);
}
}
As you can see, i tried refresh, clear, flush everything. Important to note here that case is a detached object, but as far as i know merge will do the job but the reference will not copied to the original object, but will (should) update the entity with the same id...
In other cases (with other entites this code is works like charm), only with one case, the first one entity at the database with id 1 is making bug!
I cannot understand why it is, why it is working some cases, and why it is not... And why it is that i see the good values in the entity attibutes and it just doesn't generate the update sql and doesn't make the merge/update in the persistance context and also at the database, no error message, nothing to show, only missfunction...
If anyone ever experience this kind of mistic bug/issue i would more than appreciate the answer or any slight idea, anything came in to your mind pls take time to answer.

Answer 1

I very believe however yet no time to POC/test it, but my problem was caused because the poorly implemented hashcode() and equals() methods!
As it seems reference this article:
http://tmjee.blogspot.hu/2012/11/do-we-need-equals-and-hashcode.html
That poor hashcode implementation can cause merge problems in detached objects, and that is exactly my issue.
