Hi there!

In my current project we need the following scenario: Hibernate checks object version but it does not increment version when it updates fresh (not stale) object and throws StaleObjectStateException when object is stale. Is it possible to implement this scenario in current Hibernate?

We need this functionality to implement some kind of object syncronization between two database servers. It should be PostgreSQL and MS SQL servers (we could not use any relational replication services because of two different DBMS and usage of 2nd level cache, so we should make it through Hibernate).

It is not the default behavior, but I imagine it would be pretty trivial for you to patch Hibernate to disable version number increment in certain circumstances.

It would be more suitable for me if this functionality was part of hibernate else I should patch each new stable Hibernate release :)
"New Feature" request?

Not unless you can convince us that this is a general requirement, which i doubt it is.

If in the future hibernate needs some kind of replication functionality (I mean replication between two different relational databases) you should implement "check version but do not increment it" scenario, and maybe then it would become a general requirement.

But if you need it? :)
