Hi there,

I think the first code block has an error (page 334):

session.load(User.class, user);

should be

User user2 = (User) session.load(User.class, user);
or
user = (User) session.load(User.class, user);

I'm not sure about this though, because the way it is written in the book makes you think that 'user' gets populated by session.load (there is a comment above that line that says 'Load persistent state into user'

However, i tried to make it work that way and 'user' only had the two values for the composite key as a result of calling session.load. the other attributes were not retrieved from the DB. It worked when I did the modification specified above.

Thanks

Juan

Added to errata, but different solution.

>session.load(user, user)

Didn't know you could do that. Very cool and elegant syntax!!
