IIRC, Hibernate (and other O/R mappers) delay the database INSERT and UPDATE statements until the transaction commit. The SELECT then does not see the data, as it is not yet written. Try explicitly requesting a session flush.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
