I want to be able to switch between using/not using dynamic inserts at runtime, and I wonder how I can do it?

I noticed a class org.hibernate.mapping.PersistentClass that has a method setDynamicInsert(boolean dynamicInsert) which is just about what I want, but I can't seem to find any way to use it, or a similar method...

The reason for wanting to do this at runtime is that in some instances I want to be able to set columns to null and in some cases I want to only update certain columns...

Thanks in advance for any help :)

I think you can set your own persister class - maybe there can you expose PersistentClass?
