How to do bulk save / updates without using HQL?

Question

I can use HQL to do bulk operations but these operations do not update the first level cache of NHibernate, so I'm facing various problems because I do not want to clear the session or refresh objects.

Is there any way of performing bulk updates / deletes without using HQL or native SQL with affecting the in-memory state of NHibernate cache?

Answer 1

So, it seems that the only way is to handle it manually and refresh the object:

session.Refresh(entity);
