At the team meeting in Austin, I remember discussion about cases where different
"strategies" were needed to process values obtained from annotations and hbm.xml
sources. I can't remember if we discussed unsaved values, but it seems to me that this
is one case where this is needed.
I created a pull request for dealing with unsaved values:
https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/pull/298.
Please take a look and provide feedback to let me know if I'm on the right track.
Thanks,
Gail
