Hi all, Firstly, I'm new to the list, and until a month or so ago hadn't used hibernate for a few years, so if I say something out of line, let me know.
A bit of background (don't worry, I do have a developer question further on): I'm in the dying stages of trying to use hibernate to map JAXB2 generated classes to a database - I can't change the structure of the db, nor the structure of the schema that drives the generation of the classes. What I've done so far is to restructure the JAXB generated classes as best I can to enable hibernate to store them in the database. I'm facing what I believe is a limitation in embedded classes relating to properties that might be transient in the embedded class, but we want to save for this usage, or vice versa. I've posted this on the forums (http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=957009) but will repeat it here as this is probably the right place. What I'd like to do is submit a patch that allows the following: @Embeddable class Foo { @Transient String firstName; @Column String lastName; } @Entity class Bar { @Id Long id; @Embedded @TransientOverride(name="firstName", transient = false) @AttributeOverride(name="firstName", column = @Column) Foo foo; } I hope that's fairly self-explanatory. I've dug through the code and feel reasonably confident that I could put a patch together, but don't want to do anything that wouldn't be acceptable. Any thoughts/suggestions on the above? My motivation is that I have an xml schema that has reuse of a few key types (eg Price) that contain different elements, not all of which are applicable to every usage. cheers dim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
