Instead of writing it in the JavaDocs, it's much more appropriate to document this behavior in the User Guide

[[pc-refresh-gotchas]]
==== Refresh gotchas
The `refresh` entity state transition is meant to overwrite the entity attributes according to the info currently contained in the associated database record.
However, you have to be very careful when cascading the refresh action to any transient entity.
For instance, consider the following example:

.Refreshing entity state gotcha

====
In the aforementioned example, an `EntityNotFoundException` is thrown because the `Book` entity is still in a transient state.
When the refresh action is cascaded from the `Person` entity, Hibernate will not be able to locate the `Book` entity in the database.
For this reason, you should be very careful when mixing the refresh action with transient child entity objects.
