Hi Fabio.

I guess I my description of the problem is not clear. There is no code
to clear the table. But there is a code to delete the contents of
unreachable collections, invoked from FlushCollections method
(somewhere in the NH2 code base, I do not have the class name at this
moment, but it is unambiguous).

Like I described, the AssociatedEndpoints is a noop property.
Debugging the code I have noticed, that all the AssociatedEndpoints
collections become unreachable from within the Commit statement and
since they cover all the Endpoint_Protocol entries as a result of the
Commit all of them are deleted.

Is it more clear this way?
Thanks.
