I just started to port my projects to HB3-alpha. Everything works just fine. Of course I tried new features - especially my favourite "named-entity". Since started I wonder why there is no delete( String namedEntity, Object entity ) method? I'm not sure how HB3 could guess which exactly entity(-name) I'm passing into delete. Of course HB3 could guess entity-name if my object is already assosiated with session, but I cannot imagine how hibernate could guess the name when I pass transistent object with id. I relized that there is update( String entityName, Object entity ) method - so I'm a bit puzzled because these are "conceptually" similliar. Maybe someone could explain this?

Yeah, I guess we will add this in the final release, I wondered about it. Add to JIRA.

For now, you can use Session.lock(), followed by Session.delete()
