Remarks

To set the default read-only setting for entities and proxies that are loaded into the session, see DefaultReadOnly.

Read-only entities can be modified, but changes are not persisted. They are not dirty-checked and snapshots of persistent state are not maintained.

When a proxy is initialized, the loaded entity will have the same read-only setting as the uninitialized proxy has, regardless of the session's current setting.

The read-only setting has no impact on entities or proxies returned by the criteria that existed in the session before the criteria was executed.
