Hi,

I have an object which has lazy collection properties. I hand this object to the application (a swing app, so now way to keep Session open). When the data from the collection is needed (User expands a tree node), the Object is passed back to the server, where I want to initialize the collections, and pass the object back to the client again.

I have this working so far allready, however to initialize the Collections, I have to do a Session.load() with the id of the Object passed in to the Server.

Is there another way to reassociate the Object with the Session, so I can initialize the Collection, without the need to reload the Object from the DB?

Use session.update(), or the newer session.lock()

I tried Session.lock allready, which throws an Exception "Tried to lock a transient Object". Session.update() works, but still issues an update - can this be avoided somehow?

session.lock(obj, LockMode.NONE)

note that lock(transient, lockMode) only works in Hibernate 2.1.

Ah, thats why it doesnt work, was still using the 2.0.1 jar-File :)

Thanks, Michael
