How do i delete a record from the table using Hibernate.

Thanks in advance.

Hi you can delete by first load the object using
HibernateUtil.load("class name",id);
and then use
HibernateUtil.delete(object);

Hope this helps u.

So when deleting an object you have to load the object fully first? Is it not enough to create an instance of the object populating just the primary key field and then call session.delete() on that object. i.e. does Hibernate require that all fields in the object are fully populated before it can delete the corresponding db record? I have noticed that this is the case with my application recently.

Have you solved this one? I tried to delete by only populating the identifier. It complaines the not-null properties, I then faked these not-null properties with some random values. It then went ahead deleted the record. Any insight why Hibernat needs to check the not-null thing before doing delete? Thanks.

Yeah, I discovered that so long as the identifier is correct you can populate the other fields with dummy values and the delete works okay then. Seems a bit odd though.
