Hello everyone! I have a peculiar problem and I hope somebody can help me on this.
I have a client that as to fill the database of the "Producer" Entity (a CMP Entity bean), for example:

for (int i = 1; i< 5; i++)
{
ProducerValue value = new ProducerValue("test " + i);
ProducerEntity[] prodEnts = (ProducerEntity[]) producerEntityHome.findAllProducers().toArray();
for (int i = 0; i < prodEnts.length; i++)
{
if (value.getName().equals(prodEnts[i].getName()))
{
throw new DuplicateKeyException("Name already exists");
}
}
producerEntityHome.create(value);
}


 but the odd thing is that it creates the 2 first producers, and everything else returns an exception
 
"javax.ejb.NoSuchEntityException: Entity not found"

 and on the server side:

NoSuchEntityException: javax.ejb.NoSuchEntityException: Entity not found: Test 1

Here is a scratch of the bean:
By the way I'm using Eclipse 2.1, Lomboz 2.1.1 and JBoss 3.2.1

}

I'm wondering if I have to define the ejbActivate() and ejbPassivate() some how...

You're not show the client-side exception point, but I'll assume it is at the findAllProducers() invocation.

I would first suspect the implementation of your key class, common.ManagedEntityKey, which you do not show. Give that a sniff, or post it here.

-Peris

Here is the draft of the ManagedEntityKey as requested:

package common;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class ManagedEntityKey implements Cloneable, Serializable
{
private String name;

...

public ManagedEntityKey(String name)
{
this.name = name;

...

}
public Object clone()
{
ManagedEntityKey clone = null;
try
{
clone = (ManagedEntityKey) super.clone();
clone.name = new String(name);

...

}
catch (Exception e)
{
clone = null;
}
return clone;
}
public boolean equals(Object other)
{
if (other == this)
{
return true;
}
if (!(other instanceof ManagedEntityKey))
{
return false;
}
ManagedEntityKey otherKey = (ManagedEntityKey) other;
if (hashCode() == otherKey.hashCode())
{
if (!name.equals(otherKey.name))
{
return false;
}

...

}
else
{
return false;
}
return true;
}

...

public String getName()
{
return new String(name);
}
public int hashCode()
{
return name.hashCode();
}
public String toString()
{
return ("Key|PrimaryKey: " + getName());
}
}


The exception that occurs in the client side is:

java.rmi.NoSuchObjectException: Entity not found: primaryKey=Key|PrimaryKey: Test 1; nested exception is:
javax.ejb.NoSuchEntityException: Entity not found: primaryKey=Key|PrimaryKey: Test 1

I forgot to mention but the exception occurs at the getName().

I've run some tests and the findAllProducers() seems to be working fine because the size of the Collection that returns, for each cycle, is correct:

The first time is 0...
The second time is 1 and the getName() returns "Test 1"...
The third time is 2 (supposedly it has "Test 1" and "Test 2") but the getName() now throws the exception above.

Hi, Im experiencing a similar problem where I get a complaint abt the cmp primary when I try to use the getter methods on the object.did u find a solution?
