hibernate - any imported serialized objects back with original pkeys

[Timasmith]

Hi,

I have serialized my object hierarchy to disk and which to restore the
objects, with their original primary keys, back into the database.

Essentially I rebuilt the database and want that set of data back where
it was. I dont want to generate new primary keys.

If I save my object with session.save the top/parent object generates
an insert but with the child it generates an update which fails with

StaleObjectStateException


Any easy way to do this?

thanks
