[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-49?page=com... ] Robert Watkins commented on HBX-49: ----------------------------------- Emmanuel, I've just come across this issue as well, and I can't see why the spec is getting in the way. Just to re-iterate the issue, here's an example bean: package org.example.Bar; @Entity(name = "Foo") public class FooImpl { ... } Good: session.createQuery("from Foo where id = 1); Bad: session.get("Foo", 1) In what way is the spec preventing the second example from working? The JPA spec doesn't define the session.get(String, Serializable) method - the closest it comes is the EntityManger.getReference(Class<T>, Object) method. If it's too difficult to make the change, or the change would be likely to break existing code, then that's one thing, but don't say that it's the fault of the JPA spec that the second example doesn't work... -- 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
