具有多个实体的Symfony2表单提交速度慢

Question

I have an entity called Materials with 8 associated entities (with join tables). When I submit the form to update existing entities/records in the database, it takes up to 24 seconds to finish the process. I read somewhere that I shouldn't use:

$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$form->handleRequest($request);
$data = $form->getData();
$em->persist($data);
$em->flush();

Because multiple entities would take too long to persist, but to boost performance I should use the update query:

Exp.
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$repo = $em->getRepository('ourcodeworldBundle:Posts');
$newCreatedAt = new \DateTime();

$qb = $repo->createQueryBuilder('p');
    $qb->update()
        ->set('p.createdAt', ':newCreatedAt')
        ->setParameter('newCreatedAt', $newCreatedAt); 
$qb->getQuery()->execute();

Does anybody know if that is correct and if so, will I have to really update every entity manually? It will take me a long time to write this as queries, since there are so many.

Answer 1

I found the problem.

The form used to fail at $form->handleRequest($request); in my controller:

if ($request->getMethod() == 'POST') {
  $req = $request->request->get("material");
  $form->handleRequest($request);
  ...
}

But the real problem was that my Assert statements in my Material class were not well defined. As soon as I corrected them handleRequest no longer slowed down the form submission process.

Here is my updated Material class with the fixed Assert statements:
