hello,

I have a persistent object that I generated using the Hibernate tools eclipse. I am able to insert a record, but I am not able to update a record. When I call that method, it always seems to issue in insert.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

DAO Code ---

@Transactional( propagation = Propagation.REQUIRED, readOnly = false )
 public void persist(Service transientInstance) {
 log.debug("persisting Service instance");
 try {
 entityManager.persist(transientInstance);
 log.debug("persist successful");
 } catch (RuntimeException re) {
 re.printStackTrace();
 log.error("persist failed", re);
 throw re;
 }
 }

@Entity
@Table(name = "service", uniqueConstraints = {})
public class Service implements java.io.Serializable {

 // Fields

 private String serviceId;

 private String serviceName;

 private String status;

 private String locationIpAddress;

 private String companyOwnerId;

 private Date startDate;

 private Date endDate;

 private String licenseKey;

 private String serviceType;

 private String parentServiceId;

 private String rootResourceId;

 private String accessControlModel;

 private String param1;

 private String param2;

 private String param3;

 private String param4;

 private String param5;

 private Set<RequestApprover> requestApprovers = new HashSet<RequestApprover>(0);

 private Set<ServiceConfig> serviceConfigs = new HashSet<ServiceConfig>(0);

 private Set<RequestForm> requestForms = new HashSet<RequestForm>(0);
