Hi everyone!

Yesterday, I tested my DAO layer with a simply Pojo and I got surprised that a save and saveOrUpdate have the same behaviour.

Here is my unit test:

<code>

private Person person = null;
private PersonManager manager = null;

public void setUp() {

manager = (PersonManager) ctx.getBean("personManager");

}

public void testSave() {
person = manager.getPerson(new Integer(3));
person.setName("Tim");
manager.save(person);
}

</code>

The person has been updated with a name = Tim but i don't call saveOrUpdate.

Can anyone explain that?

Thanks

Hello Friend:

I think that´s wierd. I went to see Hibernate API Doc, i found the follow phrase at a Method saveAndUpdate, it indicate your observation:

Either save() or update() the given instance, depending upon the value of its identifier property. By default the instance is always saved.
