Critically, it's hard to get the ID of a detached entity in a completely safe way. {{Session#getIdentifier}} doesn't work on detached entities, and {{PersistenceUnitUtil#getIdentifier}}won't work on detached entities whose ID contains an association.{quote} {quote}In this case I _think_ the patch would be limited to adding one method to {{Session}}, and that method wouldn't even be an overload (since there's no {{getReference}} method with one parameter), so the \[backporting] seems pretty safe.{quote} ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15508#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Add Comment ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-15508#add-comment?atlOrigin=ey... ) Get Jira notifications on your phone!
