Error message "org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: object references an unsaved transient instance - save the transient instance before flushing: x.y.Class" misleading/uninformative
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-2981
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2981
             Project: Hibernate3
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.2.5
            Reporter: Dobes Vandermeer


Recently Hibernate gave me this error; it was uninformative because:

- It doesn't say what object has the reference
- It's not clear what the given class name refers to
- It doesn't say what field in that object was being processed.

It was misleading because:

- The problem was actually caused by passing a non-persistent object as a parameter to a query, not because of references to a non-persistent object

So, this sent me in the wrong direction.

Hope this helps ...
