Hi, above are my model classes

when running the below query..its thorwing the following exception
"org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing: com.ibm.shuttle.model.Job"

query:
public JobFunction search(String jobAlias, String serverAlias, String jobTitle,String jobType){
JobFunction fun=null;
//jobfun=(JobFunction)baseService.findById(JobFunction.class, jobType);
Server server = null;
if (serverAlias != null) {
server = serverService.findById(serverAlias);

}
LOG.info("--jobAlias->" + jobAlias + "--serverAlias-->" + serverAlias
+ "--jobTitle-->" + jobTitle );
Session session = PersistenceSessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(Job.class);

if (jobAlias != null) {
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("jobAlias", jobAlias));
}
if (jobTitle != null) {
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("jobTitle", jobTitle));
}

if (serverAlias != null) {
criteria.add(Restrictions.eq("serverAlias", server));
}

List<Job> jobList = criteria.list();
Job job = new Job();
job.setJobList(jobList);
//System.out.println("jobList-->"+jobList.getJobAlias());

if(jobList != null){
System.out.println("in joblist!=null");
Criteria criteria1 = session.createCriteria(JobFunction.class);

if (jobType != null) {
criteria1.add(Restrictions.eq("pk.functionId2", jobType));
}
criteria1.add(Restrictions.eq("jobAlias",job));
fun = (JobFunction)criteria1.list();
fun.getPk().getJobAlias2();
}
return fun;
}
Can any1 pl help me out??Thanks in adv
