Heh, I was going to post about this. I'm not sure whether this is good or bad but I added it for feedback.
Its a performance optimization: Usually when we do session.update(foo), we don't have a snapshot of foo's clean state. This new feature gives us a memory sensitve cache of snapshots or "recent" objects. In the case where a snapshot _is_ available in the cache, we might be able to optimize away the update, or at least use dynamic-update if that is enabled. Note that the reason for this is that objects can't carry around snapshots the way collections do. > Saw subject in the commit logs...What is that ? ;) > > /max > > > > ------------------------------------------------------- > This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek > Welcome to geek heaven. > http://thinkgeek.com/sf > _______________________________________________ > hibernate-devel mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hibernate-devel > ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ hibernate-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hibernate-devel
