This might not help much, but... I've been wrestling with a somewhat
similar issue, and it turned out to be a silly bug of my own. I wasn't
committing in the right DataContext. I'm reminded of that when you say
"Still not working" after trying Marcin's suggestion of touching some
attribute of the localObject. If it's still not saving after that,
maybe the object isn't in the DataContext you're committing. Could you
print the list of updated objects in the DC just before the commit?
Something like this:
Collection objects = dc.newObjects();
objects.addAll(dc.modifiedObjects());
objects.addAll(dc.deletedObjects());
Iterator it = objects.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
log.debug(it.next());
}
