Did you try adding the @Transient in the attributes of you class that will not be persisted? Could you post your code?

[Wouter Oet]

Why would you add the @Transient annotation? Then it will not be persisted. I don't think that is what he wants.

I would do what the exceptions says: save the transient instance before flushing: com.hrms.persistanceLayer.HrAddress. You're trying to persist an entity but that entity references another entity (of type HrAddress) which hasn't been persisted yet. Try to persist that first.

@Wouter Oet

i dont want to persist HrAddress yet how i can set this entity that hibernate allowed me to save HrAddress as null in parent entity

i have two table HrPerson and HrAddress. HrPerson hold the foriegn key of address and one to many releationship. now when i only want to save HrPerson then it gave me above exception. is there need to change the hbm file of HrPerson or something else thanks

[Wouter Oet]

Leave HrAddress null. Then after you persisted the entity create a new HrAddress, persist it and assign it to the entity.
