JPA provides two modes of flushing query objects namely AUTO and COMMIT (which are defined in FlushModeType Enumeration). If the AUTO mode is set on the Query object which is the default one, then any changes made to entity objects will be reflected the very next time when a select query is made. That means that the persistence engine must make sure to update all the states of the entity objects which will affect the results of a SELECT query. Then when you do a find(entityToUpdate.getId) probably hibernate flush your changes.
