Derek, I still humbly suggest writing an implementation of
PropertyAccessor<http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/api/org/hibernate/property/PropertyAccessor.html>to
map the values between JPA and the Lift business objects.

Then, in the Hibernate-mapping or the Configuration object, just define:

<hibernate-mapping
   default-cascade="none"
   default-access="*net.liftweb.jpa.LiftFieldAccessor*" //Or something else
   package="bahblah">


Cheers,
V

I thought about it a bit last night. JPA infers entity members from either
fields or getter/setter pairs. In that sense, I could create a JPA object
like

class MyEntity extends Record[MyEntity] {
  object nameField extends StringField(this,100)

  def name = nameField.value

  def name_=(value : String) = nameField.set(value)
}

But that seems a bit clunky. The other option may be to somehow come up with
a modified Field (JPAField?) trait that can access instance fields, perhaps
via a closure.
