[hibernate-dev] Session get() and load()

[Vikas Phonsa]

I'm a newbie to hibernate 3 (haven't worked with older versions) and am
trying to understand the difference between the get() and the load()
methods of the Hibernate Session Object. 

 

After reading the Hibernate documentation and the discussion at
http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=87363&postdays=
0&postorder=asc&start=0  I think I know what those methods do. My code
is giving the expected results also.

 

But I have following questions:

 

Is there any reason to favor one method over the other, besides the
application specific considerations?

 

Is one of those two methods there just for backward compatibility or any
other such reasons?

 

Thanks in advance.
