[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-122) Add natural-id annotation

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-122?page=co... ] Emmanuel Bernard commented on ANN-122: -------------------------------------- @Index can be defined at the class level @o.h.a.Table(indexes=) and contain an ordered array of columns. So proper column ordering can be ensured. We actually can do the same for @NaturalId use a random order if @NaturalId is set to properties use a specific property if @NaturalId(properties={}) is defined at the class level Ah, I tend to no longer pass arguments like isNatural and isMutable. Instead I read the annotation when I need it. The code becomes much more maintainable. Following this strategy will solve your Boolean problem. Basically mutability will look like something like that isMutable(XProperty property) { NaturalId naturalIdAnn = property.getAnnotation(NaturalId.class); return naturalIdAnn == null || naturalId.mutable(); } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
