Hello!!.

I kinda feel stupid for having to ask this... but....

how do i check if there is no other object with the same ID in the db ??. Do i have to query and check if the result is null, or, is there a simpler way ?

Thanks!

It would help to know why you want to do this. Are you trying to generate your own ID's for new objects? If so, are you sure that you really want to do this? Hibernate can handle this for you automatically if you want.

The ID is provided by the user (in this case).

Thanks!

Just do a



This will return null if there is no row in the db.

thanks!!!

"minor" correction. session.get() is not guaranteed to hit the database, e.g. if someone previously have used load() or queried and it has been proxied.

If you want to be sure, do the get() as the very first operation in a session or simply just execute a query to perform a check which will always run against the database.
