Hibernate version: 2.1.18

Hello... I have a quick question regarding session.save() method in Hibernate.
Is there any alternative to session.save() that is able to insert a collection of objects? e.g. passing an ArrayList to a method that behaves the same as session.save();
After doing some profiling on my code, it turns out that the longest time spent is on communication with the database (MySQL), in particular, session.save() call.
I'm sorry for asking this silly question (hopefully it's not :) )

I don't think such a method exists, but it is trivial to implement it in your code. Anyway, the method you ask for wouldn't do nothing different than doing multiple INSERTs in a single transaction.

If you're talking about inserting a large collection of objects there's a lot of discussion about optimizing performance across the forums.

Look at this for a start.
