Hibernate version:
Alpha Generics version

Could someone explain the fundamental difference of using Get vs. Load ?

(or point me to where to find this?)

Thanks!

Get() will return null if the object with the given identifier doesn't exist and Load() with throw an exception. Other than that, I think they're basically the same.

jemiller is 100% correct.

I just dug into the code. There's the only line of code thats been added to Load that isn't in Get:



And, that doesn't seem to apply to the Load(object obj, object id) method. It does apply to the Load(Type type, object id) and, by proxy, all of the generics.
