Sorry for the late reply, I've been out for the holidays and simultaneously rebuilding my system from its hard-drive crash.
The read-only stuff would not fix this issue, as I understand it. From what I think that user is asking for, he still probably wants to the flushes against the "main entity" to be honored and just wants the reference data excluded from the flush checking. I think he's suggestion makes good sense, where the check to see whether an entity is mutable comes before checking it's attributes for dirtiness. At least in the current implementation, that makes a lot of sense to me. However, right before the holidays I started work on breaking down the SessionImpl into even more basic components. Another thought here might be to further split what is now called PersistentContext. The idea would be to split the concepts of 1) tracking an entity's state from 2) defining the "scope of object identity". This would actually help later on with some potential issue I have been thinking about regarding a good read-only session implementation. Then we could continue to track these objects within the scope of object identity but not in the session cache (aka, this is analogous to TopLink's distinction between Session and UnitOfWork). -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Max Rydahl Andersen Sent: Sunday, December 26, 2004 1:53 PM To: Hibernate development Subject: [Hibernate] someone looking at flushing performance... ...fyi: http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=936291 Is he on to something or is the readonly stuff in H3 the answer to this ? -- Max Rydahl Andersen callto://max.rydahl.andersen Hibernate [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hibernate.org JBoss Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jboss.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
