As a means of conveniance, could I request that the EntityHome class add a simple save method as follows?

    public void save(){

         if (this.isManaged())

              update();

         else

              persist();

    }

A very small method, but it would help, as I would use this ~80% of time instead of the persist and update methods.

I'd add a JIRA feature request, but I can't see a means to do so, plus I'm unaware if there are valid reasons why a method like this shouldn't be implemented.
