[Hibernate] writing the properties of a persistent object to a string

[Brad C. <bra...@wo...>]

i often add a toString method (that prints out the values of all =
properties) to my persistent objects so that i can get detailed logging =
of an object's state when it is loaded, saved, etc.  i have just written =
a printToString method for the Session interface/SessionImpl class that =
does this dynamically, taking into account proxy's, lazy collections and =
PersistentEnum types, so i don't have to write & maintain the toString =
methods (for this purpose) anymore.  i know gavin would rather the =
Session interface didn't grow anymore :-), but i think this may be =
useful for others to.

comments?
