Hi, If calling session.flush() generates the sql update command, why bother calling session.update(myobject)?

Note, I am not using a transaction.

Does the difference come into play with the save() method, the saveOrUpdate() method, or cascading save/updates? I don't get it????

What scenareo would there be that would require you to use update() before flush()?

when you get a persist object from session one,after session one closed,you changed some states of the object, for save the object,
you must create a new session (session two) and call the update() of session two.
