I don’t know what you mean by ordered array strategy and enum. The rest of the sentence seems to imply that you prefer option 3 even for the single id column case.

These are not really new goals. Goal #1: make the most natural mapping as possible as if you were not using the ORM but rather use the tool directly. Goal #2: expose the native query capabilities as a first class citizen and on equal footing as the JP-QL support to benefit from the specificities of your NoSQL backend. Non Goal: Hibernate OGM is not in the database business - at least until we explore the polyglot persistence topic :) Now Goal #1 is a bit blurred by the fact that you could consider the use of a data grid as a secondary and mostly temporary store of a data set persisted elsewhere. I which case the JPA API prevails as the entry point and how you store the data in the grid is not important. But that’s one use case. > We didn't mention javax.persistence.IdClass but I assume the same applies. Yes, IdClass with a specific type are like embeddable ids essentially. And implicit IdClass (forgot what they are called) means that the entity class itself is also the id class. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
