proxy interface and access strategies

Hibernate version:1.2

I have lazy loading switched on and have classes mapped with inheritance:

Code:

  <class name="Release" table="release" proxy="IRelease">
    <id name="Id" type="Int32" >
      <column name="id" />
      <generator class="native" />
    </id>

    <discriminator>
      <column name="matter"/>
    </discriminator>
...
    <subclass name="PhysicalRelease" discriminator-value="0" lazy="true" proxy="IPhysicalRelease">
...
    </subclass>
    <subclass name="DigitalRelease" discriminator-value="1" lazy="true" proxy="IDigitalRelease">
...
    </subclass>

We have added the proxy interface so that we can check the type of an object at runtime.

Making this change required removing all of our access strategies so previously on id (and other properties) we had access="nosetter.camelcase" obviously because this is now an interface we can't do that.

My question is whether there is a way to keep the access strategies while using the proxy interfaces?

Hi, perhaps my blog post at http://blogs.chayachronicles.com/sonofnun/archive/2007/04/06/233.aspx
and the previous post referenced in that will help you.
The main thing to remember when dealing with these proxies is that they are subclasses of the proxied class.
Check it out and see if it gives you any pointers.

Thanks Mike,
We are able to keep the access strategy on everything but the Id field.

I have created an issue in Jira for this
http://jira.nhibernate.org/browse/NH-1083

Cheers,
