Christian Bauer updated HHH-2501:
---------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
type: New Feature (was: Improvement)
This was actually a question I got last week in training and we concluded that a
cascade="readonly" (or similar) might be quite useful. The request was to allow
read-onl entity instances in persistent state within the identity scope, avoiding data
aliasing problems with StatelessSession, but still being able to initialize proxies and
collections without the memory overhead of snapshots. I guess most people are hit by this
when they try to use the same mapping metadata for OLTP and reporting.
Read-only state of an entity in a session to propagate into
subsequently lazy-loaded entities.

Key: HHH-2501
URL:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2501
Project: Hibernate3
Type: New Feature
Components: core
Environment: any
Reporter: Gunther Schadow
Priority: Minor
ISSUE:
Given an Entity entity and after Session.setReadOnly(entity), if the entity has lazy
collections, lazy properties etc., other Entities are loaded into the Session upon
navigating the object graph in the default read-writable state. However, it seems more
reasonable to maintain the read-only state of the owning object.
REQUEST:
Ability to propagate read-only state of an entity in a session into other lazy-loaded
entities.
BACKGROUND:
We have a system which permits users to make concurrent transactions which involve many
of the same objects. Usually no changes happen on these shared objects, but instead
connections (links) are made between these objects and new objects. For example, say you
have an online meeting system, and every Meeting held has a link to a number of User
object. The User objects are never changed in a Meeting, but there is a Relation called
Participation (of User in Meeting) to which new relationships are added. When a new
meeting is saved, it wants to save the User objects simply because a new Participation
link entry was added to the collection.
To an extent we can prevent this from happening by setting the Users explicitly to
read-only. However, now suppose we added a function "Invite your Friends" to a
Meeting, in which we would simply go:
for(User friend : currentUser.getFriends())
meeting.addInvitation(friend);
Now an Invitation is like a Participation, and would be added into the User but now it
wants to save these users just for a version upgrade only because they have received an
Invitation.
