the following code creates a record with id 6 what if i just want to update id 6 to a new first name what will i have to do...

SessionFactory sessionFactory = new Configuration().configure().buildSessionFactory();
session =sessionFactory.openSession();
//Create new instance of Contact and set values in it by reading them from form object
System.out.println("Inserting Record");
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.setId(6);
contact.setFirstName("Deepak");
contact.setLastName("Kumar");
contact.setEmail("[email protected]");
session.save(contact);

in this method does "session.load(Contact.class, new Integer(6)); " does integer(6) represent the primary key.

I am getting the following error when I am trying to update some of my records.

I am doing the update like this


Contact myContact = session.load(Contact.class, new Integer(6));
myContact.setFirstName("new name");
session.update(myContact);
session.flush();
session.clear();
