[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-2716) Session.replicate failure with identity column

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2716?page=c... ] Max Bowsher commented on HHH-2716: ---------------------------------- The javadoc for replicate says "Persist the state of the given detached instance, reusing the current identifier value.". IIUC, the specification of the identifier value is the only reason for using replicate rather than persist or save. The current behaviour violates the documented API. It could lead to an application working entirely correctly with a pre-insert native id generator, and then developing a bug when switched to a dialect using a post-insert native id generator. I suggest that the correct behaviour for replicate is to always try to insert the given identifier, and if the database is unable to do that, throw an exception. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
