LazyInit error on persting with detached association
----------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HHH-3846
                 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3846
             Project: Hibernate Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 3.3.1, 3.2.5
         Environment: Reproduced on 3.2.5 and 3.3.1 on Ingres and Postgress databases.
            Reporter: Shorn Tolley
         Attachments: patch.txt, Sample.zip

Basically, the scenario is, if you try to persist an object that has a detached association AND the target of that association has been loaded by some other code for the same session.

When the above conditions are met, Hibernate will throw a LazyInitException during th persist() operation - which if you think about, doesn't really make much sense.

It is not feasible to reset the association to point to the attached version of the object, as the two pieces of code are completely orthogonal, they just happen to refer to the same object within the scope of a single session.  This kind of scenario will occur on any sufficiently complex project.

More details can be found here in this forum post: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=995977

I have attached some sample code to reproduce the error in as simple a manner as possible: sample.zip

I have also attached a patch with the change suggested by "nordborg" on the forum: patch.txt
