[hibernate-dev] User defined generic bag

[Sergey Koshcheyev]

Hi,

the list you posted to is for Java Hibernate. You probably wanted to
post to the NHibernate development list. Its address is
nhibernate-development at lists.sourceforge.net.

To answer your question, yes, please submit the patch to our JIRA
(http://jira.nhibernate.org), we will then review it and decide whether
to apply it.

Thanks,
Sergey
