merge of a deleted object results in a insert? ---------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1661 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1661 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Bug

Components: core Versions: 3.1.3 Environment: Hibernate 3.1.3, SQL Server Reporter: Tu-Thach

A persistent object is loaded from a session and deleted, then close the session. Using that same object in another session and call merge results in the object being inserted into the database. Here's the sample code: Session session = factory.getCurrentSession(); session.beginTransaction(); MyClass obj = (MyClass)session.load(MyClass.class, new Integer(10)); session.delete(obj); session.getTransaction().commit(); session = factory.getCurrentSession(); session.beginTransaction(); session.merge(obj); session.getTransaction().commit(); Since the object is already deleted, merge could not find it and thus proceeds with a INSERT. Shouldn't it throw an exception instead?
