[hibernate-dev] Bytecode enhanced, Reference Cached immutable Entities

[John O'Hara]

I had been working on the assumption that the entity is mutable/immutable.

Is it possible for EntityEntry to be immutable? e.g. is it valid for 
states such as BooleanState.IS_BEING_REPLICATED or 
BooleanState.LOADED_WITH_LAZY_PROPERTIES_UNFETCHED to change during the 
lifetime of the EntityEntry object?
