[FIXED] Hibernate - Batch update returned unexpected row count from update: 0 actual row count: 0 expected: 1

Issue

I get following hibernate error. I am able to identify the function which causes the issue. Unfortunately there are several DB calls in the function. I am unable to find the line which causes the issue since hibernate flush the session at the end of the transaction. The below mentioned hibernate error looks like a general error. It doesn't even mentioned which Bean causes the issue. Anyone familiar with this hibernate error?

Solution

Without code and mappings for your transactions, it'll be next to impossible to investigate the problem.

However, to get a better handle as to what causes the problem, try the following:

• In your hibernate configuration, set hibernate.show_sql to true. This should show you the SQL that is executed and causes the problem.
• Set the log levels for Spring and Hibernate to DEBUG, again this will give you a better idea as to which line causes the problem.
• Create a unit test which replicates the problem without configuring a transaction manager in Spring. This should give you a better idea of the offending line of code.

Hope that helps.
