Re: [hibernate-dev] Another @Access quandry

I really like the general approach you did in metamodel. In fact, even though I heavily refactored most of that package, the way annotated members are found is largely unchanged. But specifically, take Sanne's example. Access(PROPERTY) for the class. Then for one attribute they want field *access* (runtime). How would you see that? Like I said initially, I think there are 2 potentially valid ways to support this. First, @Entity @Access(AccessType.PROPERTY) public class Course3 { @Id @GeneratedValue @Access(AccessType.FIELD) private long id; ... public long getId() { return id; } ... } This approach gives credence to the passage I have been quoting here: "It is not permitted to specify a field as Access(PROPERTY) or a property as Access(FIELD)". Second, @Entity @Access(AccessType.PROPERTY) public class Course3 { private long id; ... @Id @GeneratedValue @Access(AccessType.FIELD) public long getId() { return id; } ... } I prefer the first one.
