Hi,

I get very strange updates when I use the Criterial instance List() method.


Here is my code:

ICriteria criteria = session.CreateCriteria(typeof(T));
IList list = criteria.List();


It updates objects of type T, which are loaded before and changed by the application. I need them to be reloaded, not updated.


I have made a session before and I haven't closed it (I need it for lazy collections loading). If I close the session and open a new one - it is ok, but what should I do in this case?

Hibernate flushes the session before executing your criteria. Since you have modified instances of this type in your session, I would say hibernate even has to do so, otherwise you would end up with an inconsistent result.
If you want the modified objects to be reloaded, you can call session.Refresh(obj) on these objects or you can try and set session.FlushMode = FlushMode.Never (or FlushMode.Commit) to prevent the flush.

Thank you for the quick and helpful answer :).
