Hibernate object states-

State	Definition	Example	Code Snippet
Transient	A transient object is an object that is not associated with a Hibernate session and has no representation in the database.	A new instance of an entity class that has not been saved to the database yet	`Person p = new Person();`
Persistent	A persistent object is an object that is associated with a Hibernate session and has a representation in the database. Either saved in database [using save, saveOrUpdate, persist, merge etc method] or retrieved from the database [using get, load etc method]	An instance of an entity class that has been retrieved from the database using a Hibernate session	`Person p = session.get(Person.class, 1);`
Detached	When the session was closed, the state changes to detached. or evict() , clear() etc methods are applied, The object is detached from its session.
