Guys, I’ve been looking at a new @ClassBridge annotation and where it fits in DocumentBuilder. InitializeMembers grabs both the class’s fields and methods and then proceeds to call InitializeMember on each of them. I propose that this class annotation (and any other that may appear in the future) be looked for in the InitializeMember method before the fields and methods are looked up. Applying this to any single field doesn’t make sense. If this need to be tracked by propertiesMetadata then so be it. I haven’t looked much beyond the DocumentBuilder class yet. Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas? John G. _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
