[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (METAGEN-7) Try to find a way to be able to use @SupportedAnnotationTypes("javax.persistence.Entity") in JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor

Try to find a way to be able to use @SupportedAnnotationTypes("javax.persistence.Entity") in JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: METAGEN-7 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/METAGEN-7 Project: Hibernate Metamodel Generator Issue Type: Task Components: processor Affects Versions: 1.0.0-Beta-2 Reporter: Hardy Ferentschik Assignee: Hardy Ferentschik Fix For: 1.x At the moment we use @SupportedAnnotationTypes("*"). Better would be to explicitly specify @SupportedAnnotationTypes("javax.persistence.Entity"). Then the processor would only be called if there are any entities annotated with @Entity. However, this also means that the processor is not getting called at all if there is no @Entity which could be the case if all configuration is done via xml. We would need a way to make sure that the processor is called at least once to ensure xml is parsed. Other than that only entities annotated with @Entity should be passed to the processor. At the moment I don't see how we can make this happen :(
