Allow to override collection behavior in components --------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-4733 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4733 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: core Affects Versions: 3.3.2 Reporter: Alex Besogonov Priority: Minor Attachments: comp_prop.diff By default, Hibernate treats _all_ collections inside a <component> as always not-null. The attached patch allows to override this behavior on a component level. By setting 'ignoreCollections' meta attribute to 'true' all collections are ignored during component hydration, so if no other not-null properties are present, the whole component is skipped. -- 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
