Wouldn't it make sense for it to throw an exception if the mappings are
different, otherwise who cares? In migrating, if one
makes a mistake it would be good to know - "xxx has two different
configurations" and not pick one which has precedence (I'm coming from the
standpoint of someone who may be migrating soon). Unless, of course, the
configuration artifacts are always different between those mapped by
Annotations/ejb3xml and those mapped by hbm.xml. It would also definately
make sense if this was configurable.
I'm thinking out loud too :P

Subject: Re: [Hibernate] Configuration artifact precedence
Yes I know the problem - and I also didn't find any hint in the spec about
how they plan to define the precedence with respect to ejb3 xml in
relation to annotations...any news on that ?
And I guess having precedence as something you can change to allow for
easier migration would be a good thing.
As it is now Annotations/ejb3xml wins first - correct ?
But couldn't we just say hbm.xml wins first and then users can remove the
hbm.xml when they want the annotations
to take over ? Or will that not have any affect because the annotation
process occurs before users get the chance to
add their hbm.xml files...
Just thinking out loud...

When Christian migrate CaveatEmptor to HEM, the encounters issues with
the discovery mechanism, because there were no notion of precedence. I
think the idea of configurable precedence came from here. I have to
admit I liked the idea to ease migrations. It's a bit like the BIOS boot
ordering, you never used it, until you have to.
The problem is that I discover them in the jar file, they are not added
by the user. So I have no idea of the ordering.
when will we ever have a user add both a hbm.xml AND ejb3xml file ?
And if we have - again, why not just choose the first one that gets
added
to the configuration by the user ?

Well, just to let you know and to help me to find a good
configuration
property name.
What kind of values does it take ?
