[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-1588) delay inserts for insert-generated-identifiers outside transaction

delay inserts for insert-generated-identifiers outside transaction ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-1588 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1588 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.2.0 cr1 Currently, when an entity with some form of PostInsertIdentifierGenerator key generator (IDENTITY, select) is saved or persisted the insert happens immediately. This is done in order to know the generated id value because the legacy save() method requires it for a return value (plus proper hashing etc within the PersistenceContext). For EJB3, the persist() method does not dictate the generated id value to be returned and allows the provider to schedule the id-generation and insertion at a later point in time. However, it also requires that when an entity is persist()ed either directly or through cascade outside of a transaction, that the insert needs to be delayed until: (1) we join a transaction and a normal flush executes the pending actions (2) an explicit flush occurs
