[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Resolved: (HHH-4737) Cache the EntityKey in EntityEntry when id is non-null

Cache the EntityKey in EntityEntry when id is non-null ------------------------------------------------------ Key: HHH-4737 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4737 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Gail Badner Assignee: Gail Badner Fix For: 3.5.0-Beta-3 Attachments: HHH-4737.patch The EntityKey can be cached in the EntityEntry when the ID is non-null. This would help when a method already has an EntityEntry but needs an EntityKey (e.g., to look up a proxy in the persistence context. I'm not sure if this is really worthwhile, but I'll attach a patch that shows how it can be implemented and where it can be used. It can also be used in some code I'm working on for read-only proxies.
