Question

Application use NHibernate.
I Have object A that contains set of objects B.
I have cascade=”all-delete-orphan” in my config file.
When I do changes in A object, then save, object B is also saving.
How to prevent saving B ? Is it possible to disable cascade for a moment ?
regards
Marcin

You may consider using IStatlessSession

Operations performed using a stateless
session do not ever cascade to
associated instances. Collections are
ignored by a stateless session.
Operations performed via a stateless
session bypass Hibernate’s event model
and interceptors. Stateless sessions
are vulnerable to data aliasing
effects, due to the lack of a
first-level cache. A stateless session
is a lower-level abstraction, much
closer to the underlying ADO.
