Spring / Hibernate: InvocationTargetException when deleting an object

I apologize if this question is a bit vague, but I am very confused.

I have a controller that calls a service to delete an object and then creates the object in its place. In the service, I have my DAO and my entity and I want to delete my entity, so I call

DAO.delete(entity);

Then, seemingly out of nowhere, I get an InvocationTargetException. The options are here:

method: public org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView tld.myproject.view.web.controller.MyController.replaceEntity(org.springframework.web.multipart.MultipartFile,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest)

target: tld.myproject.view.web.controller.MyController@185918e

args: [org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartFile@14812a6, org.springframework.web.multipart.support.DefaultMultipartHttpServletRequest@c08a64]

ex: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

and the place it crashes is in the following Spring code

private Object doInvokeMethod(Method method, Object target, Object[] args) throws Exception {
    ReflectionUtils.makeAccessible(method);
    try {
        return method.invoke(target, args);
    }
    catch (InvocationTargetException ex) {
        ReflectionUtils.rethrowException(ex.getTargetException());
    }
    throw new IllegalStateException("Should never get here");
}

Does anyone have a suggestion what is going on? Anything I can use in my debugging?

UPDATE: Here's the stacktrace:

UPDATE 2 . Well this stacktrace had no other glitches, so the stacktrace has been updated. Now, as you said, the answer becomes clear, there is another object with the same ID and this is true. In my logic, the following happens before deletion:

MyEntity instance = new MyEntity();
fillEntityFromRequest(instance, request);
MyEntity tmpInstance = myEntityService.read(instance.getId());
if(tmpInstance == null) myEntityService.create(instance);
else {
    // Exists already, so force by deleting old entity first
    myEntityService.delete(instance);
    myEntityService.create(instance);
}

Is this what forces you to be the second entity in the session? As I don't think I have bound the new object to the HibernateSession when I dispose of the old object I am replacing.

Greetings

The exception has to do with how hibernate stores Session objects in it and where you set transaction boundaries. I am assuming the transaction boundary is around the code posted in Update 2. When you ask hibernate to delete something, it doesn't execute the request right away. Rather, it pauses this request for execution the next time a session is started on the database. Insertions are done the same way. This allows Hibernate to issue similar queries for efficiency reasons.

Usually the session is cleared when a transaction is committed. The initial request for an object stores this object by id in the Hibernate session and delete labels, which delete the object when the delete method is called. When you try to bind a new object with the same identifier, Hibernate doesn't know what to do at this point and throws an exception. It seems to me that there are two possibilities for how to handle your particular situation.

  • Clearly clear session after deletion. You might also need to call the "checkout", but I don't remember if flush () does it automatically or not.
  • Change your code logic something like this:



    MyEntity instance = myEntityService.read(instance.getId());
    if (instance == null) {
      instance = new MyEntity();
    }
    fillEntityFromRequest(instance, request);
    myEntityService.save(instance); // calls saveOrUpdate() method

By updating the object returned by the "read" method, you are updating an object that Hibernate already knows about. The saveOrUpdate method knows how to UPDATE an object or a new INSTANCE based on whether the object is already in a Hibernate session.
