Behaviour merge() of detached objects [message #1079837]

Hi,

a short EclipseLink newbie question.

We compared hibernate and EclipseLink regarding the merge of detached objects.
Hibernate return's a new java reference when we do this? When we think about a FatClient like RCP not a good behaviour...e.g. binding and etc. is a pattern not working like this.

What's the behaviour of EclipseLink? Is this a standard behaviour of the JPA2 spec?
(That's one key requirement to use EclipseLink instead of Hibernate.)

best regards
JK

The JPA specification requires that merge() returns the managed version of the detached object (it must be a new reference).

That is the whole point of merge(). If you don't want this, if the object is new, then consider using persist().
