Optimistic Locking

  • @OptimisticLocking annotation supported in Entity and MappedSuperclass classes. Corresponding eclipselink-orm.xml element is optimistic-locking
  • Type Options
    • Default (Version Column)
    • All Columns -> OptimisticLockingType.ALL_COLUMNS
    • Changed Columns -> OptimisticLockingType.CHANGED_COLUMNS
    • Selected Columns -> OptimisticLockingType.SELECTED_COLUMNS
    • Version Column -> OptimisticLockingType.VERSION_COLUMN
  • Validation
    • Type is 'Selected Columns' but no columns are selected
    • Selected Columns must be mapped and must not be primary keys
    • If using Optimistic Locking with anything other than Version Column, the @Version annotation will be ignored (warning, not error, for this)
    • If 'cascade' is set and type is not 'Version Column', warning that it is not supported.
    • If type is 'Version Column' or @OptimisticLocking is specified without a type, there must be a mapping marked @Version.
  • If no @Version annotation exists the Default option will display 'Default (None)
  • If a Version annotation exists, the default option will display 'Default (Version Column)
