Running Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1.1 (build 12).
I'm modifying an entity class to add an additional reference, and I'm getting
a "uses a non-entity" error. First, I should point out that my initial
project was a standard WAR file with the entity classes in a seperate JAR
library. I've since put the persistence.xml into it's own JAR library, and
bundled it and the WAR into an EAR. This was needed for our design to swap
out ejb libraries base on client. Everything worked fine after changing to
an EAR package, prior to adding new entity classes. The problem I get now
is that I'm trying to add a new entity with a relationship to an existing
entity. I get the following error (but I shouldn't):
SEVERE: Exception while invoking class

The Policy classes looks like:
@Entity @NamedQueries(......) public class PolicyApplication implements
java.io.Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY) private Long id; /* THIS
DOESN'T ERROR */ @OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy =
"policy") private ARCoverage coverageAR; /* THIS DOESN'T ERROR
*/ @OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "policy")
private WWCoverage coverageWW; /* THIS _DOES_ ERROR */
@OneToOne(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, mappedBy = "policy") private
RDCoverage coverageRD;
Here is RDCoverage:
@Entity public class RDCoverage implements Serializable { private static
final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy =
GenerationType.IDENTITY) private Long id; @OneToOne @JoinColumn(name =
"POLICY_ID_fk", nullable = false) private Policy policy;
For comparison, here is ARCoverage:
@Entity public class ARCoverage implements Serializable { private static
final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy =
GenerationType.IDENTITY) private Long id; @OneToOne @JoinColumn(name =
"POLICY_ID_fk", nullable = false) private Policy policy;
You'll notice that the relationship to Policy are defined the same way for
all entity classes. I'm able to deploy the EAR after removing the
RDCoverage reference from Policy (and thus Policy from RDCoverage). All
entity classes are in persistence.xml. Addiotnally, removing the reference
but keeping RDCoverage in persistence.xml does create the table as
expected. So, it's can't be a problem with the ORM mapping.
Again, ARCoverage and WWCoverage, along with their Policy relationship,
existed BEFORE I moved to an EAR packaging. I wonder if this is a caching
issue where the new entity classes are not added to the PU correctly. I've
even deleted the <domain>/generated directory and the JDBC reference in
Glassfish.
Is there another cache that should be deleted?
