Object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing hibernate JPA

Question

When I try to save the data this error is shown:

com.LTR.entity.Silicon.platform -> com.LTR.entity.Platform,

It says that I need to save the transient.

I have been trying to put cascadeType.ALL but this does not work.

I dont know why when i tried to update or insert this crashed with this error , and also this only happens when the platform object is null when i try to update

when i set cascadeType.ALL it sasys that the ownedBy from the platform entity is empty but in the database is no empty

Answer 1

Add cascade="all" attribute to all attributes.

Like below

@JsonIgnore
@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER, optional=true, cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name="platform_current", nullable = true)
private Platform platform;

You need to set optional=true .

The @Column(nullable=true) is to instruct the DDL generation tool to include a NULL SQL column type constraint.

For more on optional vs nullable, check out this StackOverflow answer.

Answer 2

You need to save Platform before saving Silicon so Persist is the CascadeType you would need here.

@JsonIgnore
@ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER, cascade = CascadeType.PERSIST)
@JoinColumn(name="platform_current", nullable = true)
private Platform platform;
