Aparently the ActiveRecord guys want to move ActiveRecord to NHibernate 2.0, for now, this means, move to NHibernate trunk (just for now).
This will bring more capabilities to ActiveRecord, for example, here I show you how to use DetachedQuery with ActiveRecord. Moving to NHibernate 2.0, I will able to commit a patch with this support without need uNHAddIns.ActiveRecord.dll.
At this thread you can see the guys of developer list of Castle voting for do this play.
Another key feature to take advantages is Event Listeners. At chat with Fabio Maulo:
- Me: “I can’t see the advantages using Event Listeners with ActiveRecord at Validation, AR validate before Save and do this work“
- Fabio: “How you can intercept the validation process untill make the Save?“
- Me: “You can’t“
- Fabio: “You just answered yourself“
