Change Password never persists because of lack of setters?

[jenshuehn]

Hey.
Recently, I faced a strange issue and I am not sure where this came from:

Based on the sample app, my application did not persist the password set using User::changePassword. In the end I removed the public field access with a setter method and then it worked.

Old code in User::changePassword which did not work:
a.providerUserId = authUser.getHashedPassword();
New code:
a.setProviderUserId(authUser.getHashedPassword());

Version used: Play 2.6.21.

All the best.
Jens

Looks like the root of this problem is Ebean ORM which does not mark the entity as "dirty" in first case
