Automatic mapping for bean properties. -------------------------------------- Key: HHH-2287 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2287 Project: Hibernate3 Type: Improvement Components: metamodel, core Versions: 3.2.2 Environment: Does not matter Reporter: Marcos Silva Pereira Priority: Trivial Hibernate JPA support can mapping properties without an annotation, in other words, the properties are automatically mapped and, if I don't want to map some property, I must annotate it with the @Transient annotation. I really think that automatic properties mapping could be a great enhancement to make XML mapping more simple. Per instance, if I have the following class (mapped using annotations): @Entity public class MyEntity { @Id private Long id; // the properties below are mapped // without annotations private String name; private String email; private int age; // gets, sets and other stuff. } The equivalent XML for this class would be: <hibernate-mapping> <class name="MyEntity" automatic-property-mapping="true"> <id name="id"> <generator class="native" /> </id> </class> </hibernate-mapping> Sorry if it was duplicated but I can't found something like this here. -- 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
