Hi everybody.

I have a question about the Hibernate ReflectionOptimizer. I didn't found a related topic, so i opend one.
Hibernate defines a contract for providers of bytecode services to Hibernate. As it says it breaks down into basically 3 areas. One of these areas is the ReflectionOptimizer. The documentation in the source code tells me that is used to create instances that provides methods for setting/getting specified properties at once.

My question now is, when is it useful to use this feature, and why it isn't used by default?

best regards,

Marc
