Hi,
I am using 3.2.6.ga. I have a map and I need to wipe that map and add new data to it (for reasons I unfortunately cannot explain). I am using eager loading and I have specified an equals function for the classes in question. Saving and retrieving are done in two separate transactions amd sessions.

Does Hibernate allow you to do this? When I try it I get the following errors:

Is what I am asking even possible in Hibernate?

I know that I should provide more information about this problem, but I cannot do so as that would mean describing a particular software design which may be considered inappropriate by my employers). My apologies.

Cheers.

Could you post a snippet of your code?
