Hibernate version:1.2.0.Beta3

Hi,

I am few weeks new to Hibernate. I was looking for ways to create an immutable summary object for display purposes in a multi-tier envirionment. This summary object would be derived from multiple tables.

I found that at least one Hibernate blog (blog.exadel.com) describing

a) a <subselect> tag which allows a query as part of the class mapping.

b) a <join> tag in class mapping to join other tables.

Neither of these seemed to work for me in NHibernate. Just wanted to make sure these tags didn't get ported and I am not missing anything.

In the absence of these I am considering options including a view with ANSI SQL, some 'Lite' association objects.

thanks
Murthy
