[hibernate-dev] Any change of adding generics to Hibernate specific API

[Emmanuel Bernard]

Hi Vlad,

That’s an interesting proposal. It is certainly possible. But since the Session and Query API (Hibernate native) is historically non typed, I wonder if that is worth introducing these new typed version and add more overloaded methods on Session.
Do you think it is worth the additional complexity?

Steve, do you have some plan for a Session API revamp some time in the future? Some spring cleaning of sort.

Emmanuel
