Re: [Hibernate] EntityPersister subclassable?

[Gavin K. <ga...@ap...>]

This is a tough question to answer....

*yes*, it is supposed to be subclassable; however, I can't make any
guarantees that future versions of Hibernate won't break subclasses of
EntityPersister. I will try to maintain backward compatibility, but no
promises. Sorry....
