[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-28?page=all ] Alexander Portnov updated ANN-28: --------------------------------- Attachment: annotations-any-patch2.txt Added @MetaData annotation to avoid duplicate @MetaValue mappings on every property of the same type. @MetaData allows to specify mappings only once on the Interface itself. Also added metaDataClass attribute to @Any and @ManyToAny annotations. This is useful when property declaration uses generics. For example: public class PropertyList<T extends Property> { private T someProperty; ... @Any(idType="integer", metaType="string", columns = { @Column(name="property_type"), @Column(name="property_id")}, metaDataClass = Property.class, cascade= CascadeType.ALL) public T getSomeProperty() { return someProperty; } } Where Property is mapped as following: @MetaData({ @MetaValue(value="S", targetEntity=StringProperty.class), @MetaValue(value="I", targetEntity=IntegerProperty.class) }) public interface Property { public String getName(); public String asString(); } -- 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
