Extending an entity with an integral ID using the JOINED strategy twice causes PK violations

Support
#1

Hello again!

Let’s say I have a Person entity which extends BaseLongIdEntity and uses the JOINED inheritance strategy. If I create two entities which extend Person, say Employee and Student, and then try to use a generic edit screen to create one instance of each of the derived entities, I get a Primary Key violation when trying to insert the second one in the database. (Demo project attached which illustrates the problem - try creating an Employee and then a Student instance - exception is thrown on the latter as it tries to insert into DEMO_PERSON using ID = 1.)

It seems CUBA is generating IDs based on the derived class type, ignoring the fact that the PK is actually controlled by the superclass.

This is obviously a major concern. Any idea how I can get around this?

Kind regards,

David

Hello, again.

I see from the YouTrack issue that this has now been fixed in 6.4.2. Do you have any idea when 6.4.2 will be released? This is obviously a pretty critical issue for us.

Kind regards,

David
