Hello,

Is it possible to save/update a component after loading it by session.find()? We're not selecting the object as a whole, only the component...

If it is, then we must have a mapping file for the component class, right?

I have tried to save a component with the following mapping file and nothing happened:

<class name="Abc" table="tbl_Abc">

<id name="surname" column="surname" type="java.lang.String">
<generator class="assigned">
</generator>
</id>
</class>

There is only one field in the component...


Regards.

The term "component" has a very special meaning in Hibernate. It is completely distinct from a mapped "entity". Components cannot be persisted outside of the reference to the entity which contains them. If you make this a many-to-one relation to another entity, however you can do this.
