I'm wondernig what needs to be set in order to prevent flushing all queried objects when I only want to explicitly persist one.

My Hibernate Config/Mapping files do not have any cache entries.



At the time of commit, all items returned from the query (q) are updated back to the database. I only want the s.save(hdr) to cause a single update at tx.commit()

Thanks in advance!

Nevermind, it was a problem with my MoneyUserType and deepCopy, so every flush was saying the Order Total was dirty (a Money object).

But, is the expected behavior that if an object is fetched in a read only query, that all other pointers to that object can never be modified?

* Object A is returned in a Read-Only Query.
* In the same session, Find Object B by same ID as Object A
* Object A == Object B
* Modify Object B and persist
* Object B will NOT be persisted
