New @Persister annotation doesn't declare a default for impl target ------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-585 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-585 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Bug

Components: binder Versions: 3.3.0.ga Reporter: Shawn Clowater Fix For: 3.3.0.ga

Not sure if this is a bug in the Annotations side of things but the new @Persister annotation doesn't define a default for the impl target. There is at least one 3rd party library that I know of (apt) that dies a horrible death when trying to parse the @Persister annotation. It blows a Null Pointer Exception when trying to look for the default. Looking at the other annotations it would seem most if not all define a default. The drawback is that the default has to be an actual class, it doesn't seem to accept NULL. I just rolled out into our codebase with a hack that made the default Object.class so that it would compile and parse correctly. I'm not sure if that's the actual solution or not. I would think maybe SingleEntityPersister would be a better default perhaps.
