Re: [hibernate-dev] FlushMode.NEVER deprecated

Hi.
I can see in Hibernate 3.2 LockMode.NEVER is deprecated in favor of
LockMode.MANUAL.
Maybe this is a silly argument... but i think that FlushMode.NEVER has
some "semantic" benefits. I mean, if i'm reading code and see
session.setFlushMode(FlushMode.NEVER)
i think "oh, this is going to be a read-only session". On the other
hand, if i see
session.setFlushMode(FlushMode.MANUAL)
i'll think "oh, in this session the developer is going to manually
flush the session at some point, instead of letting hibernate taking
care".
Even more, hibernate could throw some "Not flushable session
(read-only)" exception if someone try to flush on this mode...
This is exactly why MANUAL is a better name than NEVER :-)
