Hi,

I'm new to Hibernate, I have a 1 to 1 relationship set up between two objects (tables).

So the table generated just uses a foreign id column with the id of the other object, which is pretty much what I expected. But the Java object has an instance variable of the type of the other object. What I want to know is what's the best way to update this. I tried just changing the ID of the associated object and calling save but I get this error:

"a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session"

My first thought to get the other object and set that to the first object but this seems like a lot of overhead for something simple. Is there an better way?

Thanks

This is the correct way and there is nothing wrong or bad with it.
