Creating a entity instance dynamically [message #1681993]

Hi!

In my application we work with handwritten Entities.

In some cases, we need to create a new instance of an entity and populate it, but dynamically.

We have the Class<SomeEntity> and need to populate it's properties with some values from a Map<String, Object>.

I tried to use DynamicEntity but when I retrieve the DynamicEntity a null is returned, as my mapping is not dynamic.

            final ClassDescriptor cd = Dao.session().getClassDescriptor(someEntityClass);
            final DynamicType type = DynamicHelper.getType(cd);
            // type == null

Is that possible to use DynamicEntity without a dynamic mapping? If not, how can I populate a new instance without using the setters in the class.

If I could use DynamicEntity it would be perfect.

Thanks.
