jboss javax.persistence.OptimisticLockException

Question

I am using jboss version 5.1.0.GA and am running gss service on it (https://code.google.com/p/gss/). I ran into problem of javax.persistence OptimisticLockException. Stack trace is as following:

All of the project source is available here: https://code.google.com/p/gss/source/browse/

Can you please point me in some direction and help out with this problem?

Answer 1

An javax.persistence.OptimisticLockException is throwed when a user tries to update a record in database after some other user has modified it. This is handled automatically by the JPA provider if the Entity has one field (column) annotated with @Version.
