In xml to set up a filter on the target table of a many to many, you set
the filter element inside the <many-to-many> element
To support that in annotations, I could do
1.
@Filter (pointing to the association table or the target table if a
@OneToMany @JoinColumn)
@FilterManyToMany (@FilterTargetEntity) (pointing to the association
table or the target table if a @OneToMany @JoinTable | @ManyToMany)
or
2.
@Filter (pointing to the target table)
@FilterJoinTable (pointing to the association table)
I like 2. better, it is more consistent esp when you realize that
@OneToMany can use a join table just by changing an annotation.
2. would require a break to the users playing with @Filter and
associations involving join tables.
WDYT?
Any annotation better name are welcome too.
