read-only one-to-many

I have a complex situation of master-details, in which I'd like to have the full control of the saving process of both.
For this reason I did not mapped any "one-to-many" relation in the master ... and my save works fine.
For reading the records it whould be nice to use a one-to-many mapping ... so I wrote it in the master ... and reading works fine, but after I have problems in saving (which I won't explain here).
Why is not possible to have a mapping one-to-many only for reading? Why there is no choice to write insert=false, update=false just like in the -many-to-one mapping?
Or ... is this possible and I did not see how?
Regards

inverse="true" will not manage the association from this side.

I did not used inverse="true" ...
Can you kindly explain me better?

Just put an inverse="true" on the one-to-many set/bag and it will never get saved or updated. And search on the website and the documentation if you want to know what it means.
