Hi Christian,
It actually does work already.
I was just trying to get answers to the questions at the end of my email.
Would overriding a transient attribute be portable? If not, is that
something Hibernate would/should support?
If the answer is "yes" to either of those, I'll add a test case to the test
suite.
Thanks,
Gail
