I was using Hibernate 3.1beta3, and I just upgraded to 3.1, and much to my surprise, the Session interface is missing a save signature - Session.save(Object, Serializable) to be precise.

I checked the changelogs and didn't see any mention of it being removed (or deprecated).

I'm sure I missed something, but I was just checking. Thanks!

I noticed this as well. We'd like to see this come back if anybody out there is listening.

It has been moved to org.hibernate.classic.Session where all deprecated Session methodsgo to live out the reest of their short futile lives.

Note that these methods are only used/needed in the situations where an entity does not contain its own identifier as a property. That (mis)feature will be removed (currently deprecated) which *is* noted in the change log.

Additionally note that SessionFactory always returns an org.hibernate.classic.Session, which extends org.hibernate.Session, adding the deprecated functionality. So the methods are there in whaat you get back from a SessionFactory.
