hi

When a update is called on a parent, does that mean that always childe will also be updated even if it's values are not modified?

Thanks

Hi,

I think that if values of the child didn't change, so when you call update(myObj) nothing will happen. It is one of Hibernate job...

There is actually no need to do a session.update() if you modify an object inside of session scope (dirty checking will do that). You have to use update() if you modified a detatched object, in which case you will get an update for every object associated with cascading update (Hibernate can't know if your detatched objects changed or not)
