Cascade metadata

Am I just missing it somewhere, or is there no way to get cascade information from the metadata API?

I believe I found the cascade information... though it isn't directly accessible from metadata (which seems odd). Basically, this is how I do it:

Code:

Cascades.CascadeStyle[] propertyCascades = null;
if(session instanceof SessionImplementor) {
  SessionImplementor si = (SessionImplementor)session;
  ClassPersister cp = si.getPersister(dataClass);
  propertyCascades = cp.getPropertyCascadeStyles();
}

It "smells" a little hacky to me... and I haven't tried it yet, but from the docs it looks like this should work.

you probably should try to get it from the Configuration object instead

The problem there is that my code has no access to the Configuration used to create the SessionFactory. All it has is a Session.

Well, store the Configuration somewhere in a Singleton for example.
