Clarify documentation on package use in persistence.xml <class> (and it's meaning) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: EJB-252 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/EJB-252 Project: Hibernate Entity Manager Type: Bug

Components: Documentation Versions: 3.2.0.ga Environment: 3.2.0, Oracle 9i r2 Reporter: Kenneth Roe Assignee: Emmanuel Bernard Fix For: 3.2.1

The EntityManager reference documentation indicates that you can specify a package name in the <class> element of persistence.xml. This does not appear to be the case. Section of the documentation that says package names will work: "The class element specifies a fully qualified class name that you will map. By default all properly annotated classes and all hbm.xml files found inside the archive are added to the persistence unit configuration. You can add some external entity through the class element though. As an extension to the specification, you can add a package name in the <class> element (eg <class>org.hibernate.eg</class>)."
