Hibernate save()与persist()区别

Hibernate 之所以提供与save()功能几乎完全类似的persist()方法，一方面是为了照顾JPA的用法习惯。另一方面，save()和 persist()方法还有一个区别:使用 save() 方法保存持久化对象时，该方法返回该持久化对象的标识属性值(即对应记录的主键值)；但使用 persist() 方法来保存持久化对象时，该方法没有任何返回值。因为 save() 方法需要立即返回持久化对象的标识属性，所以程序执行 save() 会立即将持久化对象对应的数据插入数据库；而 persist() 则保证当它在一个事物外部被调用时，并不立即转换成 insert 语句， 这个功能是很有用的，尤其当我们封装一个长会话流程的时候，persist() 方法就显得尤为重要了。

2，save, 把一个瞬态的实例持久化标识符，及时的产生,它要返回标识符，所以它会立即执行Sql insert

persist() is well defined. It makes a transient instance persistent. However, it doesn't guarantee that the identifier value will be assigned to the persistent instance immediately, the assignment might happen at flush time. The spec doesn't say that, which is the problem I have with persist().

persist() also guarantees that it will not execute an INSERT statement if it is called outside of transaction boundaries. This is useful in long-running conversations with an extended Session/persistence context.

A method like persist() is required.

save() does not guarantee the same, it returns an identifier, and if an INSERT has to be executed to get the identifier (e.g. "identity" generator, not "sequence"), this INSERT happens immediately, no matter if you are inside or outside of a transaction. This is not good in a long-running conversation with an extended Session/persistence context."
