This is evident from the >Java definitions of the class that implements the interface. > Sorry, my misunderstanding there (I was focused on the OR mapping metadata, not the property-field mapping). The mapping between the interface properties and class fields is normally achieved via the "field-name" attribute on the <property> element in the <implements> element, and it's probable that what you describe is achievable by default. We are proposing a spec change to address & clarify this and will discuss on tomorrow's call. -matthew
