JPA/Hibernate Multiple representations of the same entity

Question

My Entities:

@Entity
public class Document  {

   @Id
   protected String id; //It string in purpose

   @OneToOne(cascade = ALL)
   @JoinColumn(name = "DOCUMENT_DETAILS")
   private DocumentDetails details;

} 

@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name = "documentDiscr")
@EqualsAndHashCode
public abstract class DocumentDetails {

   @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.SEQUENCE)
   private Long id;

   private Money total;

   @ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   @JoinColumn(name = "SELLER_ID")
   private Company seller;

   @ManyToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   @JoinColumn(name = "BUYER_ID")
   private Company buyer;
}

@Entity
public class Company {

   @Id
   protected String id;

   private String name;
   private String phoneNumber;
   private String email;

   @OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
   @JoinColumn(name = "address_id")
   private Address address;
}

@Entity
@EqualsAndHashCode
public class Address {

   @Id
   @GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.SEQUENCE)
   private Long id;
   private String country;
   private String city;
   private String postalCode;
   private String streetName;
   private String streetNumber;
   private String apartmentNumber;
}

@Path("path")
@Transactional 
public class MyResource {

   @Inject
   MyRepo myRepo;

   @PUT
   public Document updateDoc(Document document){
       myRepo.update(document);
   }

}

public class Repo<T extends MyClass> implements MyRepo<T> {

    @PersistenceContext
    protected EntityManager entityManager;


    public T create(T t) {
       t.generateId();
       this.entityManager.persist(t);
       return t;
    }

    public T update(T entity) {
       return entityManager.merge(entity);
    }

}

When I call entityManage.update(documentEntity) and same Company is added as supplier and buyer I see 'Multiple representations of the same entity'.

I read this but nothing helps. When I removed CascadeType.All I am getting

'detached entity passed to persist: my.pckg.Address'

I also tried to remove CascadeType.Merge but error is the same. What I can do? Where is my mistake?

UPDATE

First I changed @ManyToOne(Cascade.All) to @ManyToOne() in DocumentDetails

Second I changed @ManyToOne(Cascade.All) to @ManyToOne(Cascade.Merge) in DocumentDetails.

Third I I changed @ManyToOne(Cascade.All) to @ManyToOne(all types except all and merge) in DocumentDetails.

I also tried same with Address class

Answer 1

This happens when you overwrite the object with same value but with different hashcode, If i am having employee class and employee is having the address class and if I will save the same employee with same address value but with different hashcode then I will get this issue, If I will clone address and set in employee then Hibernate will get confused and not able to save data

@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
class Person implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name="id", unique = true, nullable = false)
    private Long id;

    @OneToMany(cascade= CascadeType.ALL)
    private Set<Address> Addresses = new HashSet<>();

    protected Person(){}
}

@Entity
@Getter
@Setter
class Address implements Serializable {
    @EmbeddedId
    private AddressId addressId;
    private State state;
    protected Address(){}
}

@Embeddable
@Getter
@Setter
public class AddressId implements Serializable {
    @Column(name = "person_id")
    private Long personId;
    @Column(name = "postcode")
    private String postcode;
}

Solution For this

AddressId addressId = new AddressId();
addressId.setPersonId(personId);
addressId.setPostcode("4000"); //person already has an address with this postcode
Address address = null;
for (Address a : person.getAddresses()) {
    if (a.getAddressId().equals(addressId)) {
        address = a;
        break;
    }
}
if (address == null) {
    address = new Address();
    address.setAddressId(addressId);
    address.setState(State.ABC); //but I want to change the state from QLD to TAS
    person.getAddresses().add(address);
}
else {
    address.setState(State.TAS);
}
person = personRepo.save(person);

Answer 2

Ok - with hint from Piotr Gwiazda I solved it.

Simple and naive solution is add:

if(seller != null && buyer != null){
   if(seller.equals(buyer)){
       document.getDetails.setSeller(document.getDetails().getBuyer());
   }
}

(better answer is SpringData)

before update(). This situation has place because when two different objects are equal but they references that are different hibernate can't handle them as same object.
