Hibernate:collection with cascade=”all-delete-orphan” was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance

Question

So I have a schedule object which contains a list of DateActiveScheduleItem.I am obtaining the schedule from the database,removing a DateActiveScheuleItem from the list,and saving it using .save() from Hibernate CrudRepository.

nested exception is org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaSystemException: A collection with cascade="all-delete-orphan" was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance: haughton.daniel.ShoutLoud.model.schedule.Schedule.dateActiveScheduleItems; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: A collection with cascade="all-delete-orphan" was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance: haughton.daniel.ShoutLoud.model.schedule.Schedule.dateActiveScheduleItems] with root causeorg.hibernate.HibernateException: A collection with cascade="all-delete-orphan" was no longer referenced by the owning entity instance: haughton.daniel.ShoutLoud.model.schedule.Schedule.dateActiveScheduleItems

In my controller

This error occurs when saving any Schedule where the DateActiveScheduleItem list has anything in it

Answer 1

Most common problem is to overwrite your collection rather than add to it.

If you happend to do something like that :

post.dateActiveScheduleItems = list;

This may cause following problem. Rather than that try this.

post.dateActiveScheduleItems.addAll(list);

You should work with one instance of your collection, just clear it, add to it, never overwrite.

Answer 2

Rempove orphanRemoval=true from here.

@OneToMany(mappedBy = "schedule",cascade = CascadeType.ALL,orphanRemoval=true)

Answer 3

This might also happen in (spring boot application) testing context, with the maven-surefire-plugin reuseForks set on true. The cause, in that context, are database records that are leaked between tests.

To fix the issue it is necessary to either properly clean up the test environment after running a test class, or cleanup the database test environment before running a test class.
