Firstly and most importantly, the XDoclet module needs to be updated to
support the new DTD (hibernate-mapping-1.1.dtd). The biggest and most
important change in this is support for the <joined-subclass> mapping style.
However there are also a couple of smaller changes (eg.
<composite-id><property> was changed to <composite-id><key-property>,
<composite-id><key-many-to-one> ). I don't expect it would be very difficult
to extrapolate these changes from the current functionality.
<joined-subclass> is substantially similar to <subclass>, with the exception
that it has the required <key> subelement.
