Question

I am trying to write a small application to use DataNucleus’ JDO implementation on a local H2 database. I start by deleting any existing H2 DB and recreate it with a simple connection.

However, I get a JDOFatalUserException: Persistence Manager has been closed error and I don’t know why. This happens when I perform the first call to PM (at FeedDatabaseFR.java:59):

Transaction tx=DataNucleus.PM.currentTransaction();

Here is the output I get:

C:/Temp/FWDB/
jdbc:h2:file:C:/Temp/FWDB/FWDB;MODE=MySQL
Connection retrieved
Connection closed

I have absolutely no idea why this happens! Anyone has a clue? Anyone has ideas to suggest? Any help is welcome! Thanks.

Answer 1

After Googling a lot, I found this. I changed my code to:

PersistenceManager PM = DataNucleus.PMF.getPersistenceManager();
Transaction tx=PM.currentTransaction();

It works, but I don’t know why. How come moving the call to getPersistenceManager() in this current method solves this issue? I don’t get it !!! If anyone has an explanation it is welcome !!!

UPDATE

My suuuuper bad, I am indeed closing the PM in a loop.
