Hi Dain,
I've never seen an @Entity without an @Id annotation. I don't
believe it is a valid JPA mapping without an @Id. That said, it's
not required to be named Id.
I'm not using annotations at all. Everything is done in the mappings
xml.
So are you writing a framework or sample code? For a framework, it
would be nice to be portable. For sample code, who cares?
I'm doing both. If I determine that getting the pk from JPA is
necessary for the framework, I'm just add another method to my non-
portable jpa wrapper :)
BTW another thing that JPA needs is an equivalent of the OpenJPA
LifecycleListener. The interceptor stuff doesn't cut it since beans
can override the interception and it is just a PIA to get your
interceptor added to ever bean.
