Hi all,

I'm in the process of migrating an application from Java 7 to 8. The the following hibernate exception is currently the bane of my existence: org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing. Unfortunately I can't post any code, but can anyone think of a difference in the way hibernate behaves between the two java versions that could lead to this exception? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hibernate 3.6.10
spring 4.1
java 1.8
wildfly 8.2

Without looking at the code it is difficult to say. At least from an Hibernate perspective, I can say that if it already working in Java 7 there is no reason why it shouldn't work with Java 8.

IMO, I doubt the problem could be at some other place in your code but not Hibernate.
