hi,

can I dynamically remove and set the timestamp property of versioned data ?

The idea behind is I have persistent object with versioned data and want to transfer these object from a remote database to a local database in our application.
So I want to do this transfer as initial step and then switch from the original application server/database to work with these objects.

How can I do this with hibernate so that the objects and versioned attributes are exact copies from the original server ?

Create two mappings for the tables used in different hibernate session factories. One is mapped as version the other as a date (or what ever is appropriate).
