Description of problem: I have overridden ObservableDomainObject.beforeDelete() in ContentItem to delete objects which reference the to-be-deleted content item. To find these objects, I use a DataQuery. When I call its next() method, the Cursor.next() method calls Session.flush(), which tries to delete the content item, which fails with a "ORA-02292: integrity constraint violated" error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Define a table with a referential constraint on cms_items, and insert a row for an existing content item. 2. Define ContentItem.beforeDelete(), create some DataQuery, and call next(). Don't worry about actually finding or deleting the offending rows - any DataQuery should work. 3. Use the CMS UI to delete the ContentItem. You will get an exception on the line where next() is called in beforeDelete(). Actual Results: The stack trace: 2003-08-25 17:50:33,072 [002-0] ERROR rdbms.RDBMSEngine - delete from cms_items where cms_items.item_id = ? java.sql.SQLException: ORA-02292: integrity constraint (FTVICC.CMS_LINKS_TARGET_ITEM_F_L_FW5) violated - child record found at oracle.jdbc.dbaccess.DBError.throwSqlException(DBError.java:134) at oracle.jdbc.oci8.OCIDBAccess.check_error(OCIDBAccess.java:2321) at oracle.jdbc.oci8.OCIDBAccess.executeFetch(OCIDBAccess.java:1741) at oracle.jdbc.oci8.OCIDBAccess.parseExecuteFetch(OCIDBAccess.java:1902) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.executeNonQuery(OracleStatement.java:2047) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.doExecuteOther(OracleStatement.java:1940) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleStatement.doExecuteWithTimeout(OracleStatement.java:2709) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.executeUpdate(OraclePreparedStatement.java:589) at oracle.jdbc.driver.OraclePreparedStatement.execute(OraclePreparedStatement.java:656) at com.arsdigita.db.PreparedStatement.doExecute(PreparedStatement.java:213) at com.arsdigita.db.PreparedStatement.execute(PreparedStatement.java:184) at com.redhat.persistence.engine.rdbms.RDBMSEngine.execute(RDBMSEngine.java:442) at com.redhat.persistence.engine.rdbms.RDBMSEngine.execute(RDBMSEngine.java:394) at com.redhat.persistence.engine.rdbms.RDBMSEngine.flush(RDBMSEngine.java:361) at com.redhat.persistence.Session.flushInternal(Session.java:552) at com.redhat.persistence.Session.flush(Session.java:497) at com.redhat.persistence.Cursor.next(Cursor.java:108) at com.arsdigita.persistence.DataQueryImpl.next(DataQueryImpl.java:456) at com.arsdigita.cms.ContentItem.beforeDelete(ContentItem.java:437) at com.arsdigita.domain.DomainObject$SaveObserver.beforeDelete(DomainObject.java:619) at com.arsdigita.persistence.BeforeDeleteEvent.doInvoke(DataEvent.java:202) at com.arsdigita.persistence.DataEvent.invoke(DataEvent.java:39) at com.arsdigita.persistence.DataObjectImpl.fireObserver(DataObjectImpl.java:476) at com.arsdigita.persistence.DataEvent.fire(DataEvent.java:48) at com.arsdigita.persistence.Session$FlushEventProcessor.flush(Session.java:343) at com.redhat.persistence.Session.flushInternal(Session.java:532) at com.redhat.persistence.Session.flush(Session.java:497) at com.arsdigita.persistence.DataObjectImpl.delete(DataObjectImpl.java:356) at com.arsdigita.domain.DomainObject.delete(DomainObject.java:324) at com.arsdigita.cms.ui.folder.FolderBrowser$ItemDeleter.cellSelected(FolderBrowser.java:335) Expected Results: I expect beforeDelete() to be called *before* the item is deleted. At the very least, I have to be able to use a DataQuery in beforeDelete().
This problem occurs for FTVI, where we use the link checking code from DP WMCS. Link objects are automatically created for published content items, and this bug makes it impossible to delete content items for which such Link objects exist. Fixing this is pretty urgent for the client.
This bug is a high priority. I started working on it last week. I expect to have it done this week.
A candidate fix has been applied to the tip (@35834). Please test it. It merges cleanly to 6.0 branch, but I'm not going to commit there until the fix has stabilized.
Preliminary test was successful. I'm performing a very similar operation on the rickshaw codebase: upon deleting a contentItem, clearing the targetItem association in any link which points to the to-be-deleted ContentItem. With this changelist, beforeDelete performs as expected (although it would be nice for persistence to be able to automatically clear associations when the target of a one-way association is deleted), removing the need for this beforeDelete method entirely.
applied to 6.0 branch (@36022)
That fixed our problem.
