[hibernate-dev] Interface for mapping classes : Programmatic API

Hi I was wondering whether to get some thoughts about the following: At present none of the mapping classes implement any interface or extend any abstract classes. So I was thinking of introducing some form of interface for property level mapping so that one remembers (mostly me :)) to add all the methods required at the property level and the same for the entity level. I'm not sure about this so it would be cool if I could get your thoughts or start some form of discussion around it. Cheers Amin
