public void setId(int l) {
id = l;
}

}

table structure:
id int 4
FIRSTNAME nvarchar(50)
LASTNAME nvarchar(50)
EMAIL nvarchar(50)

in eclipse, everything go right and the sql is shown correctly
Hibernate: insert into CONTACT (FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, EMAIL, ID) values (?, ?, ?, ?)

in sql profiler, the statement is
exec sp_executesql N'insert into CONTACT (FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, EMAIL, ID) values (@P1, @P2, @P3, @P4)', N'@P1 nvarchar(4000) ,@P2 nvarchar(4000) ,@P3 nvarchar(4000) ,@P4 int ', N'Deepak', N'Kumar', N'[e-mail]', 6

I try to run this statement in sql analyzer and it really can create a record.
but if just run in eclipse, no exception, the sql is shown, but no record is added in the table!!
what is the problem??

I find the solution by myself finally.
need to use transaction, seesion.flush is not enough!!

Transaction tx;
tx = session.beginTransaction();
System.out.println("Inserting Record");
Contact contact = new Contact();
contact.setId(7);
contact.setFirstName("Deepak");
contact.setLastName("Kumar");
contact.setEmail("[e-mail]");
session.persist(contact);
//session.flush();
tx.commit();
