[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HHH-3439) Change o.h.cfg.Mappings to not require constructor

Change o.h.cfg.Mappings to not require constructor -------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3439 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3439 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Components: metamodel Reporter: Steve Ebersole Assignee: Steve Ebersole Fix For: 3.4 Mappings requiring passing all the mapping queues into its constructor causes interoperability issues with other components (annotations e.g.) because they generally extend Mappings to add extra information. Therefore we introduce an incompatibility whenever we add a new mapping attribute because we are currently forced to change the signature of the Mappings constructor. A better approach is to make Mappings an interface with an impl that defined as an inner class to o.h.cfg.Configuration so that it can expose access to the queues directly from there. Annotations, etc can than simply extend that Mappings impl.
