Hibernate SaveOrUpdate doing nothing - spring

Question

I work with Spring 3.2 and Hibernate 3.6.7.
I have a form that display an entity, the form is submited and the entity is saved. Using the saveOrUpdate method.
It worked until I made my entity class implements FieldHandled.
Now saveOrUpdate() does nothing.
I read the Hibernate source code and it says (shortcut) that if the Entity implements FieldHandled and if the FieldHandler is not dirty then does nothing.
here is my code :
#Controller
#Transactional
public class CustomerContactController {
....
#ModelAttribute
public CustomerContactAddressDTO getCustomerContactAddress(final HttpServletRequest request) {
CustomerContactAddressDTO customerContactAddressDTO = new CustomerContactAddressDTO();
customerAddress = customerAddressDao.findById(customerAddressUid);
customerContactAddressDTO.setCustomerContact(customerAddress.getCustomerContact());
return customerContactAddressDTO;
}
#Secured(UserService.ROLE_PREFIX + "right.customer.contact.update")
#RequestMapping(value = "/customer/contact/formedit/{customerContactAddressDTOUid}", method = RequestMethod.POST)
public #ResponseBody
ReturnFormResult formEditSubmit(#ModelAttribute CustomerContactAddressDTO customerContactAddressDTO,
#PathVariable final String customerContactAddressDTOUid) {
final CustomerAddress customerAddress = customerContactAddressDTO.getCustomerAddress();
ReturnFormResult rfr = new ReturnFormResult();
rfr.setMode("update");
rfr.setStatus(Boolean.TRUE);
customerAddressDao.saveOrUpdate(customerAddress);
return rfr;
}
}
Entity :
#Entity
#Table(name = "t_customer_contact_address")
public class CustomerAddress implements FieldHandled{
#Id
#GeneratedValue(generator = "uuid")
#GenericGenerator(name = "uuid", strategy = "uuid2")
#Column(name = "customer_contact_address_uid", updatable = false)
private String id;
....
#Basic(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
#Formula("(some native sql query)")
private String groupTransactionCodes;
private FieldHandler fieldHandler;
#Override
public void setFieldHandler(FieldHandler handler) {
this.fieldHandler = handler;
}
#Override
public FieldHandler getFieldHandler() {
return fieldHandler;
}
public String getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(String id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getGroupTransactionCodes() {
if(fieldHandler!=null){
return (String)fieldHandler.readObject(this, "groupTransactionCodes", groupTransactionCodes);
}
return groupTransactionCodes;
}
public void setGroupTransactionCodes(String groupTransactionCodes) {
this.groupTransactionCodes = groupTransactionCodes;
}
}
this is hibernate code source
!FieldInterceptionHelper.isInstrumented( entity ) = false because my entity is intrumented
FieldInterceptionHelper.extractFieldInterceptor( entity) return the fieldHandler of my Entity which is dirty == false
true && ( false || false || false) = false
hibernate source code :
as mightBeDirty == false for him update is notNecessary and doesn't schedule update.
My question :
How could I have make the saveOrUpdate() really update in database when I use it on detached entity wich are instrumented ?
Thanks

I hacked by just doing this before saving :
customerAddress.getFieldHandler().writeObject(customerAddress, "name", customerAddress.getName(), customerAddress.getName());
it will force dirty to becode true.
I feel like when a Entity implements FieldHandled, It prevent any kind of automatic runtime instrumentation.I think I should implement all the setter by hand like this :
public void setXXX(String xxx) {
getFieldHandler().writeObject(this, "xxx", this.xxx, xxx);
this.xxx = xxx;
}
calling writeObject by hand in each setter.
