Hibernate - multiples delete + insert operations without calling flush method causes duplicates












2















I have a relationship:



Parent {
@OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, orphanRemoval = true, mappedBy = "parent")
private List<Child> children= new ArrayList<>();
}

Child {
@ManyToOne
private Parent parent;
}


I want to remove all children and add new ones. That's why I call:



List<Child> newChildren = Arrays.asList(firstChild, secondChild);
parent.getChildren().clear();
parent.getChildren().addAll(newChildren);
parentRepository.save(parent); - I'm using spring data


However I saw that when I call the above code twice (I have more complicated logic, but this is the simplest case how I was able to reproduce my problem) without calling flush() method, Hibernate adds duplicate entries to the database (parent will have 4 children):



parent.getChildren().clear();
parent.getChildren().addAll(newChildren);
parentRepository.save(parent);
parent.getChildren().clear();
parent.getChildren().addAll(newChildren);
parentRepository.save(parent);


Replacing savewith saveAndFlush fixes above code and causes that parent has only 2 children.



Why is it necessary to call flush method before deleting and inserting new children to the parent?

From CrudRepository#save javadoc:




S save(S entity)



Saves a given entity. Use the returned instance for further operations as the save operation might have changed the entity instance completely.




So I believe your problem will be solved when you replace by:



parent = parentRepository.save(parent);


In your code, you continue operation on entity not attached to context, thus causing duplications.
