Hibernate version:2.1

In following code,easily you can undesrtand that for inserting into a detail table we should take an instance of parents,so i feel this kind of coding has some problems.

DataTypeENT dataTypeENT = new DataTypeENT();
dataTypeENT = (DataTypeENT) persistanceManager.findByPrimaryKey(DataTypeENT.class,dto.getDttId());
dto.setDataTypeENT( dataTypeENT );

MetricENT metricENT = new MetricENT();
metricENT = (MetricENT) persistanceManager.findByPrimaryKey(MetricENT.class,dto.getImtId());
dto.setMetricENT( metricENT );

persistanceManager.add( dto );

What are the problems you are feeling?

In this way , performance will reduce seriously.Because for every foreign key if we use a FINDBYPK it affect to performance.
