I am currently reading some documentation regarding the dara access object related with Hibernate. I found a very good example over here:

http://www.hibernate.org/328.html

However, I also downloaded the CA example, and when I went to compare the two implementations, I found out that they are different. At a closer look I believe that the CA implementation is simpler to understand, so I followed that one (altough they are very the same).

However which one of these two is the correct version?

ps: I am mostly talking on GenericHibernateDAO.

I also have some questions on what the two following methods do:

[code]
public T makePersistent(T entity)
public void makeTransient(T entity)
[/code]

I can understand that makePersistent is saving the state of the object within the database. makeTransient calls a delete method. Does that mean that the object looses it's connection with the database? I can not figure out why this method is to be used.

prefer the object is no longer persistant, it is not stored anymore into the database.

Thanks anthony :)

And why are the methods

[code]
setPersistantClass()
getPersistantClass()
[/code]

there?

Why shoudl I set a persistant class inside the DAO?
