Chuck,

So you have one EO in memory marked as “new, to be saved” and another one that has been fetched and is obviously not new.  I will assume that changing to not use a PK that you define is not an option at this point in time.

Alas nope, though it's one of things I am looking forward to trash at the very first possible occassion.

It is an ancient and rather convoluted code whose purpose was more-or-less to simulate a shared editing context, which -- can't recall clearly now -- either was buggy then, or there was some other problem with the thing.

The result is a proper mess which I have to live with -- hopefully, not for long.

At the first look this seems it did help indeed!

Now I'll implement the save/restore relationship stuff (to test I went without, for it so happens the offending object does not have any non-null relationship), and put it to more thorough testing.

Thanks a very big lot again!!!

Hmmm.... another option, if this one fails. Thanks!

By the way, the multi-instanceness brought consequences I did not quite foresee. E.g., the application sometimes imports CSV, doing these steps:

1. keep-track-of-old-records
2. read-in-CSV-and-create-new-records
3. delete-old-records
4. save

If two instances do this at once, hilarity ensues: all the old records of the slower instance are deleted by the quicker one before the slower one gets to save -- but after it started, so it tries to delete them itself, too; thus _all_ the deletion operations of the slower instance one-by-one fail, throw an exception, make me to 'forgetObject' and try again. Great.

I must be missing something pretty obvious -- there must be a considerably better approach to this :-O

Thanks again,
OC
