Yes that's exactly the kind of function and I agree with you it does seem slightly hacky implementing this ourself, which is why I was surprised to find there wasn't such a function within Hibernate iteself.
I suppose in a perfect world hibernate could return the "clean pojo" from within a hibernate wrapping, to avoid the computation overhead of having iterate through constructing a clean replica of the object tree, but..... If you do come up with any code, please post it on this forum, alternatively if anyone from Hibernate/JBoss could add their thoughts on the design implications of this it would be appreciated. I would think that if serialising EJB3 entites to XML for AJAX, this would be a common issue? regards James View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3969379#3969379 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3969379 _______________________________________________ jboss-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user
