[Hibernate-devel] adding transient objects to persistent object not working

[Son To <son...@ya...>]

Before I go on, I want to make sure my terminology is
right. A persistent object is an object that gets
instantiated by calling Session.create(Class) and a
transient object is one created the normal way using
new.

OK now for my question... suppose:

Session session = ...;
Receipt receipt =
(Receipt)session.create(Receipt.class);
Product p = (Product)session.load(Product.class, new
Long(0));
LineItem item = new LineItem();
item.setProduct(p);
item.setQuantity(3);
receipt.addLineItem(item);

session.commit();

Receipt contains a List of LineItem. This list is
declared in the xml, but hibernate runtime does not
persist the transient object. Is this a feature or a
bug?

thanks,
son
