i'm new here, so please excuse if this is a stupid question ...

from my cursory look at OpenJPA, it seems that it takes a different approach to 
schema generation than TopLink.

Toplink generates a schema from annotations, where OpenJPA requires one to 
provide a DB-neutral XML schema file. do i have that right?

i am trying to understand the advantages of OpenJPA's approach. from my naive 
standpoint right now, it seems less than optimal. if the metadata is already 
captured in annotations, why require it to be defined in the schema XML file?

am i missing something?
thanks.
