[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-567) Ability to specify a custom persister on a collection seems to be missing

Ability to specify a custom persister on a collection seems to be missing ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ANN-567 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-567 Project: Hibernate Annotations Type: Bug

Components: binder Versions: 3.2.1 Environment: Hibernate 3.2.2 Reporter: Shawn Clowater

There doesn't seem to be a mechanism to set the collectionPersister property on a Collection via annotations. I think the solution is as simple as adding a new annotation, kind of like the org.hibernate.annotation.Entity that would allow the user to specify the persister class and then having the AnnotationBinder parse that when it's parsing the annotations like @Cache, etc. If there is a particular name that you would like for the annotation I'll even do it up and provide a patch as I'm going to need it PDQ to continue on my side of things.
