Hibernate中实体的三种状态

刚刚查看了一下Hibernate的DOC，发现里面也讲到了Hibernate实体的三种状态，下面是官方的解释：
The main function of the Session is to offer create, read and delete operations for instances of mapped entity classes. Instances may exist in one of three states:

transient: never persistent, not associated with any Session
persistent: associated with a unique Session
detached: previously persistent, not associated with any Session

Transient instances may be made persistent by calling save(), persist() or saveOrUpdate(). Persistent instances may be made transient by calling delete(). Any instance returned by a get() or load() method is persistent. Detached instances may be made persistent by calling update(), saveOrUpdate(), lock() or replicate(). The state of a transient or detached instance may also be made persistent as a new persistent instance by calling merge().

save() and persist() result in an SQL INSERT, delete() in an SQL DELETE and update() or merge() in an SQL UPDATE. Changes to persistent instances are detected at flush time and also result in an SQL UPDATE. saveOrUpdate() and replicate() result in either an INSERT or an UPDATE.

It is not intended that implementors be threadsafe. Instead each thread/transaction should obtain its own instance from a SessionFactory.

A Session instance is serializable if its persistent classes are serializable.

A typical transaction should use the following idiom:

Session sess = factory.openSession();
Transaction tx;
try {
     tx = sess.beginTransaction();
     //do some work
     ...
     tx.commit();
}
catch (Exception e) {
     if (tx!=null) tx.rollback();
     throw e;
}
finally {
     sess.close();
}

If the Session throws an exception, the transaction must be rolled back and the session discarded. The internal state of the Session might not be consistent with the database after the exception occurs.
关于这三种状态，网上已经有很多解释，不过我觉得还是看官方的权威
