Howdy,



Can someone tell me a little bit more about what causes a TransientObjectException??

I have a Persistent Object that has a method to return a collection (the collection is generated by Hibernate due to a mapping table). When i pass this collection (untouched) to a 'session.filter( aCollection, "order by...")' statement, i get a TransientObjectException.

Since i pass the collection straight from the Persistent object's method into the sess.filter() call, why would I get a TransientObjectException ?? I can understand if i tampered with the collection or made up a new (non-persistent) collection....

Could this exception be generated if the collection was returned from a Hibernate call that used a different Session than the session used in "sess.filter()" call ??? This is my last guess at what might be wrong...


thanks for any help,

the collection must belong to an object that is associated with the current session

Can anybody either explain why a collection must belong to an object that is associated with the current session, or point me to some documentation that can further explain this?


thanks in advance.
