PostLoad not always called

[davidbuccola]

I am working with a slightly more advanced object that requires a @PostLoad method. I found that the JPA adapter is not reliably calling the method annotated with @PostLoad. The method gets called if the object is explicitly loaded but not if the object is implicitly loaded.

This works:

author = entityManager.find(Author.class, authorId);  // The @PostLoad method gets called for author

This does NOT work:

book = entityManager.find(Book.class, bookId);
author = book.getAuthor(); // The @PostLoad is NOT called for author

P.S. - Yes, the Book and Author class have a relationship defined between them.

David,
Do you have a reproducible case for this? Can you post the code in a public repo?

Let me dig it up. It's been a while since I worked on this.

I've created a small reproducing program. You can run it from the IDE or using foreman. You'll need to define a FORCE_DATABASE_URL if you actually want to run the program.

I'm not sure how this got closed by me. I don't believe I've seen an answer to this yet

This library is no longer maintained. I recommend using wsc for connecting to Force.com API from Java apps.
