Quarkus-Hibernate-ORM EntityManager.merge() is not updating database

Question

I have a quarkus application with an Entity, and an DAO Class.

Now I try to update the Entity by calling the merge() function of the EntityManager:

public void update(final T valueObject) {
  getEntityManager().merge(valueObject);
}

The EntityManager is injected:

@Inject
@PersistenceUnit("MY_DB")
protected EntityManager _entityManager;

and the class of the DAO is a @Singleton

When I call update() I get no Exception and there is also no information in the logs, but the database is just not updated. When I perform a persist() or remove() on the entityManager, that works as expected.

I furher work with transactions:

@Inject
private EntityDAO entityDao;

QuarkusTransaction.begin();
entity.setValue("my value");
entityDao.update(entity);
QuarkusTransaction.commit();

Any ideas what could be the problem on this issue?

Edit: Log...

So I proofed, if the hibernate session is dirty,

boolean before = _session.isDirty();
_session.merge(valueObject);
boolean after = _session.isDirty();

but also after merging the session is not dirty.

The solution was a wrong @Entity class

@Entity
public class ValueObject {
  private String value;

  @Column(name = "VALUE")
  public getValue() {...}
  
  public setValue(String value) {...}
}

had to be changed to:

@Entity
public class ValueObject {
  @Column(name = "VALUE")
  private String value;

  public getValue() {...}
  
  public setValue(String value) {...}
}
