I am using Hibernate 3.

If I execute "session.update" and the update is not successful (e.g. value too large), the exception is not thrown immediately.

For example,

System.out.println ("pass 1");
session.update(dataBean) ;

System.out.println ("pass 2");
session.getTransaction().commit();

System.out.println ("pass 3");

I find if session.update(dataBean) fails, "pass 1" and "pass 2" are printed but "pass 3" is not printed. That meams Hibernate will not throw exception until I execute "commit". Can I force it to throw immediately?


Thanks in advance.

See:
http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html/objectstate.html#objectstate-flushing

Try Session.flush() after session.update(dataBean) but nothing else is before the commit so just check the commit.

You can change flush mode (FlushMode).

Not sure why the default behaviour is not okay.
