How can I tell NHibernate to load a component as null, even when all its properties are zero?

Question

Do I have a Date class that wraps DateTime? class (helps in bullying DateTime.Now, our domain, etc.).

The Date class class has only one protected property: DateTime? the date

public class Date
{
    protected DateTime? date;
}

// mapping in hbm
<component name="CompletedOn">
  <property column="StartedOn" name="date" access="field" not-null="false" />
</component>

From nhibernate docs:

Like all value types, components do not support shared references. The null value semantics of a component are ad hoc. When reloading the containing object, NHibernate will assume that if all component columns are null, then the entire component is null. This should be okay for most purposes.

Can I override this behavior? I want my Date class to be created even if the date is zero.

Thank,

I do not think you can override this behavior.

However, it is usually simpler that NH works as usual (extracts zero) and transfers this to your domain model.
