I'm not sure. JPA entities differ in behaviour from Torque objects very much We could use only a subset of JPA annotations (e.g. manytomany is not supported). Foreign keys concepts differ (Torque objects do know the foreign key plus the linked object, JPA objects only know the linked object). Besides, the licensing situation might be difficult (I did not check the JPA API license). I'd guess JPA annotations will either not work at all or prove very difficult to use. I do not understand the JAXB part. Torque annotations will be about database specifics (which columns will be written into the database, which colum is the primary key) and these concepts are not covered by JAXB. > ... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
