Support final fields and non-empty constructors
-----------------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-1856
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH=
-1856
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: Improvement

  Components: core =20
    Reporter: Hontv=C3=A1ri J=C3=B3zsef
    Priority: Minor


Especially for value types it is a useful convention to define some fields =
final. If the type is also used in a multithreaded context than this is eve=
n required. Currently this is not possible if the class is used through Hib=
ernate.=20
This feature requires Hibernate to use a constructor with arguments to load=
 an instance (instead of field access and/or setters), because final fields=
 MUST be initialized in the constructor. A side benefit is that Hibernate w=
ill not (always) require an artifical no-argument constructor.
