[hibernate-dev] entity modes

[Steve Ebersole]

I'd have to look closer at the envers code to know for sure, but the
option I can see here is to say that the entity mode specified for a
session factory is the entity mode we use when building the metamodel
from hbm.xml or annotations.  Envers would then build its metamodel
structures as it needs using the map entity mode.  So it would be "per
entity" in a way, but in more broad strokes, the net effect being that a
given entity could only have one mode representation in a given session
factory.
