Hello All,
I am using Hibernate 3.2.6

So I have a Container with a collection of Items.

The user retreives his Items from database on restarting an old conversation. (session-per-conversation approach)

In the process he adds more Items, which are transient.

Now When I call session.refresh(Container container)
it gives an UnresolvableObjectException as it also tries to refresh some of the transient Items.

How Can I tell Hibernate not to refresh transient instances to avoid exception!
OR
What could be an Alternative Approach (think in terms of 10000s of Items)

Thanks much

Well there is no way to tell Hibernate not to refresh transient instances.

If you are refreshing an ojbect which has a collection of transient and persistent instances then calling refresh on that object will result in an exception.
