[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Updated: (HHH-2879) consolidate approach for id and natural-id loading

consolidate approach for id and natural-id loading -------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2879 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2879 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.3 Currently, natural-id "loading' is only available through some incomplete criteria query hackery. Would like to expose a proper API for performing natural-id loading. In addition, would like this to be consolidated with the effort to cleanup the Session API and so have a unified way to load entities: Session.getLoader( MyEntity.class ).get( id ) Session.getNaturalIdLoader( MyEntity.class ).get( naturalId ) *DISCLAIMER : do not like the term 'loader' here because of ambiguity*
