[hibernate-dev] Default access type and MappedSuperclass

Hi, We recently had this issue opened about us not choosing the right access type for a mapped super class: https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-12938 . Hibernate currently base the access type decision on the sole placement of the @Id annotation, which, in the case of a @MappedSuperclass might not be defined (this is the OP's case). I closed the issue explaining what we do and pointing a workaround but the OP rightfully replied with the JPA spec saying "The default access type of an entity hierarchy is determined by the placement of mapping annotations on the attributes of the entity classes and mapped superclasses of the entity hierarchy that do not explicitly specify an access type". I'm wondering if we should also consider the @Column annotations placement if there is no @Id annotation. If the answer is that it's already fixed in 6, it's all good for me :). Thoughts? -- Guillaume
