Hibernate version:

Code between sessionFactory.openSession() and session.close():
Item item = new Item();
item.setItem_id(6);
item.setItem_name("ramcomp");
// item.setItem_desc(); //I am not updating i want the merge to work here
// item.setItem_price(); //I am not updating i want the merge to work here

session.merge(item);

Hi Hibernate Team

I was the changeLog in version 3.0.5.
* [HHH-529] - Bug in merge()

I wanted to use this method but it doesnt work.

I have downloaded the latest Hibernate version 3.0.5

Why is this not working?
Or
Should i have to add anything extra for this in the mapping file.

Waiting for a reply
