CollectionMetadata should expose isInverse() method --------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2785 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2785 Project: Hibernate3 Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.2.5 Reporter: Manuel Dominguez Sarmiento Priority: Minor We've come across the need to determine whether a collection is inverse or not. CollectionMetadata should expose the method directly. Indirectly, we can do this: if (collectionMetadata instanceof CollectionPersister) { boolean inverse = ((CollectionPersister) collectionMetadata).isInverse(); ... } This works because AbstractCollectionPersister implements both CollectionMetadata and CollectionPersister, however it is not very OO. Implementing this would be simply a matter of adding the method declaration to CollectionMetadata, since the only existing implementation already has that method. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
