javax.persistence.PersistenceException：事务未能刷新

Question

I got the JPA exception

"javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Transaction failed to flush"

Then I deleted my local datastore(datastore-indexes-auto.xml and local_db.bin) from my system. Recreated all the data again and after that, the exception was gone. I want to know what did just happened ?

The following is the stacktrace

[RPC Fault faultString="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaSystemException : Transaction failed to flush; nested exception is javax.persistence.PersistenceException: Transaction failed to flush" faultCode="Server.Processing" faultDetail="null"]

I believe it is due to this problem with the time it takes for AppEngine to start up, thereby causing timeout errors.

If you've been following the App Engine Java runtime group, you may have noticed some discussions about performance of the Java runtime. Many of you have complained about hard-to-predict DeadlineExceededExceptions, or unexpectedly slow requests that use a high amount of CPU. These issues often have the same root cause: App Engine is preparing a new instance of your code to respond an incoming request.

It was reported by Grails http://jira.grails.org/browse/GPAPPENGINE-67

There is an open issue Google has not fixed yet, even after several years.

https://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=7706

As a Java project becomes more complicated and requires loading more classes & jars at startup, instance startup time degrades to the point where instances blow the 60s user-facing request deadline.

You MIGHT be able to work around this by keeping an idle instance resident in memory so it doesn't have to spin up.

I don't know google-app-engine, but I assume you have some limited space in DB there? Maybe you just run out of space?
