The difference betwen Hibernate saveOrUpdate and merge Method



SaveOrUpdate:

session.saveOrUpdate( someDetachedCat );

This is used to Reattach detached data. Reattachment is the process of taking an incoming entity instance that is in detached state and re-associating it with the current persistence context.

The method name update is a bit misleading here. It does not mean that an SQL UPDATE is immediately performed. It does, however, mean that an SQL UPDATE will be performed when the persistence context is flushed since Hibernate does not know its previous state against which to compare for changes. Unless the entity is mapped with select-before-update, in which case Hibernate will pull the current state from the database and see if an update is needed.

Provided the entity is detached, update and saveOrUpdate operate exactly the same.


Merge:
Cat theManagedInstance = session.merge( someDetachedCat );


Merging is the process of taking an incoming entity instance that is in detached state and copying its data over onto a new instance that is in managed state.

Stretch a row if data overflows in jasper reports

It is very common that some columns of the report need to stretch to show all the content in that column. But  if you just specify the property " stretch with overflow' to that column(we called text field in jasper report world) , it will just stretch that column and won't change other columns, so the row could be ridiculous. Haven't find the solution from internet yet. So I just review the properties in iReport one by one and find two useful properties(the bold  highlighted in example below) which resolve the problems.   example: <band height="20" splitType="Stretch" > <textField isStretchWithOverflow="true" pa...

Live - solving the jasper report out of memory and high cpu usage problems

I still can not find the solution. So I summary all the things and tell my boss about it. If any one knows the solution, please let me know. Symptom: 1.        The JVM became Out of memory when creating big consumption report 2.        Those JRTemplateElement-instances is still there occupied even if I logged out the system Reason:         1. There is a large number of JRTemplateElement-instances cached in the memory 2.     The clearobjects() method in ReportThread class has not been triggered when logging out Action I tried:      About the Virtualizer: 1.     Replacing the JRSwapFileVirtualizer with JRFileVirtualizer 2.     Not use any FileVirtualizer for c...
