Hi

I am using Hibernate for quite a few months. Can anybody tell me about session.merge(Object);

I have tested in a table with 4 columns.

As for as i understood session.merge() issue an select statement and then an update statement.

I used this session.merge() to merge in an table, but actually it didn't merge but instead it has updated the value.

For eg) consider table as Item
Column : Item_id Item_name Item_value item_price
values

1) 1 computer 5 5000
2) 2 system 2 4000


In this case if i set the item_id and item_name and leave the other and call the session.merge() the result is

Column : Item_id Item_name Item_value item_price
values

1) 1 computer 0 0
2) 2 system 2 4000


This result should come only for session.update(). Is there any problem with session.merge()

I want to use this in my application. I am just giving u an example.
