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.
