I'm brand new to using NHibernate and have been reviewing the documentation and forums for the last few days. Chapter 4 on Persistent classes lists POCO requirements. Section 4.1.4 reads "A central feature of NHibernate, proxies, depends upon the persistent class being non-sealed and ALL its public methods, properties and events declared as virtual."

Since a static method or property can't be virtual, does this preclude utilizing static methods with persistent classes?

Thanks.
