I'm doing some testing and well, it seems like it doesn't work :(
Now, here's my question : in the value object documentation, one talks about
the target-relation tag :
"The @ejb.target-relation tag provides the ability to provide this
information."
however, this tag is not explained in the documentation. So what should we
understand ? (the tag exists for jboss however).
On a related (!) side, I have to use
* @jboss.target-relation related-pk-field="name"
* fk-column="child"
in my relationship declaration to get it working. It's okay for JBoss, but
will it work, say for Orion, which doesn't have that target-realtion tag ?
I think it's important to sort this out for the little documentation.
