[TYPO3-mvc] Update "does not happen"

Hey,

what do you do after repository->update($object)? Do you trigger a 
redirect, stop the execution of the script or alike? Sounds like extbase 
doesn't call the "persistAll" method in the persistence layer, which is 
only done at the end of the dispatcher cycle by default. So if the 
dispatcher does not reach this point for what reason ever, objects do 
not get persisted (this has to be changed IMO).

In this case you have to manually trigger the persistAll method like this:

$persistenceManager = Tx_Extbase_Dispatcher::getPersistenceManager();
$persistenceManager->persistAll();
