TransientObjectException after upgraded to Hibernate core 6.6.15.Final

Hibernate ORM
1

We were trying to upgrade to Hibernate Core 6.6.15.Final and encountered the following exception while attempting to save a record:

org.hibernate.TransientObjectException: persistent instance references an unsaved transient instance of 'com.entityName' (save the transient instance before flushing)

After investigating, I found that this issue is likely related to the following change:
:backhand_index_pointing_right: clean up logic in CHECK_ON_FLUSH 路 hibernate/hibernate-orm@8686392 路 GitHub

And I noticed a similar issue discussed here:
:backhand_index_pointing_right: Instance save transient before

However, the workaround suggested in that discussion would be difficult to apply across our codebase and could cause significant disruption as We have 500 plus hbm.xml files

Is there any other recommended configuration or workaround to handle this issue more gracefully?
Also, do you know if Hibernate plans to address or improve this behavior in any upcoming releases?

There is nothing to improve. You have to manage both sides of your associations, then you won鈥檛 have any exceptions.
