Hibernate does not create a new entry in table -

i have question. possible create new entry in db if entry not exist? if exist should update current entry.

i have this:

@transactional public void savesettingsforuser(string userid, settingsmessagemodel settings) {     session session = getsessionfactory().getcurrentsession();     usersettings usersettings = new usersettings();     usersettings = (usersettings) session.load(usersettings.class, userid);     usersettings.setuserid(userid);     usersettings.setautoanswer(settings.isautoanswer());     usersettings.setdnd(settings.isdnd());     session.save(usersettings); } 

it works entries in db. if want save new 1 primery key userid not allow me. suggestion appreciated. thank you!

i managed create new entry if such id not exist following code:

@transactional public void savesettingsforuser(string userid, settingsmessagemodel settings) {     session session = getsessionfactory().getcurrentsession();     usersettings usersettings = (usersettings) session.get(             usersettings.class, userid);     if (usersettings == null) {         usersettings = new usersettings();     }      usersettings.setuserid(userid);     usersettings.setautoanswer(settings.isautoanswer());     usersettings.setdnd(settings.isdnd());     session.saveorupdate(usersettings); } 

instead of session.load() use session.get() method. approach allows me check if there entry in db , if there not create it. hope else.
