Hibernate 2.1.6

Given the ease with which Hibernate will let you modify data, is there a way to put Hibernate in to read only mode? (For initial development/testing against production data)?

I know I could solve this problem using readonly credentials at the DB level, but this involves our DBAs - not a big deal, but Im looking for an application level hook.

write an Interceptor

Thanks Gavin.

So no hibernate properties flag. Would it be worth adding one?

um, it doesn't look like a very common requirement....

And what about session.setFlushMode(FlushMode.NEVER); when the session is opened and never calling flush() ?

This way Hibernate shouldn't commit anything to the database, right ?

Actually, that's not absolutely foolproof; someone might call flush() manually. Also, if you are using identity columns, INSERTs happen immediately and don't wait for the flush.
