OK, I know, bad form to answer your own question.
I am now subclassing my own AbstractValueObject that provides the dirty flag, so I don't need to add my own templates. Now I do have another question about using the aggregation and composition on value objects. In the examples in the documentation, the CustomerEJB has abstract methods on it for getAddresses and getPrefferedProducts. Following the example I added similar tags to my EJB. However, upon looking at the generated code on the EntityBean it the addAddress method that is generated has a call back to getAddresses. Yet there is no implementation. Is it safe to assume that the method getAddresses on the bean implementation class should not really be abstract, but should be implemented on the XDoclet bean class?
