We're back to the same problem over and over but to me the best
mapping
in Java 8 will be:
@ElementCollection
Collection<(a)Field(bridge=StringBridge.class) String> tags
right. same for HV and the ability to specify constraints for the elements
of a "basic" collection.
But until then we need to find alternatives. I can see two
alternatives
1. use a custom @ElementField annotation
This annotation will represent the element in a collection.
I like this idea as it forward compatible with Java 8's approach
I like this best and that's what I meant w/ @ElementCollectionField, but
@ElementField is better
