You're not alone. I found the whole POJO movement set me back a bit. Debugging dynamically enhanced classes is a major PITA. Having said that, issues related to multiple inheritance are also annoying. It could be a lot easier to introduce persistence into an existing codebase if you don't have to change the class hierarchy. -- Kevin
