Good question. Personally I think that this "Exception" is common enough that you should check for it rather than catch it. But if you stick with what you have, I believe you will catch the error by adding something like this in your try statement: session.save(u) session.flush() > I love to read, so if you can point me to some examples on situations > like this it would be very helpful.
