Not sure if anyone replied to this yet or not, so I'll throw my $0.02
into the discussion. I think all that is needed is to better allow
definition of what is to occur during replication in the method call.
For example, consider the changing the signature from accepting a
ReplicationMode to accepting a (new) "ReplicationStrategy", where
ReplicationStrategy is defined something like:
ReplicationStrategy {
/**
* How should we react when we encounter a pre-existing row
* in the target database?
* <p/>
* TODO: probably rename the ReplicationMode class to MergeMode
*/
public ReplicationMode getMergeMode() ...
/**
* When replicating an entity which does not yet occur in the
* target database, should we enforce that the target data
* we are about to create have the same identifier value?
*/
public boolean forceIdentiferRetention() ...
}
Also, there has been some discussion about moving the replicate
functionality from the Session interface to the StatelessSession
interface which would be a good point in time to introduce such changes.

Subject: [Hibernate] Session.replicate() into IDENTITY table ?
A while ago I highlighted a problem with the differences between the
documented API and what Hibernate actually does and I'm seeking to an
open discussion about the merits and problems to renaming the current
#replicate() function to #replicateOrSave() to better identify what it
actually does.
This is so that a hole can be left open to implement a real #replicate()
function which makes contact guarantees that the primary key / OID will
be identical even in IDENTITY tables in the replicated object or
otherwise it throws an exception. There should also be a feature
enquiry function to allow the API programmer to ask the underlying
Hibernate implementation to verify if a replication on identity table
will work. This would account for JDBC driver vendors and versions and
the realtime SQL database server vendor and version.
