There is a typo/syntax error in the first example under 2.2.2.3. Embedded objects (aka components) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-7145 URL: https://hibernate.onjira.com/browse/HHH-7145 Project: Hibernate ORM Issue Type: Improvement Components: documentation Environment: 3.1 beta 9 Reporter: Tracy Logan Priority: Trivial The example given under section 2.2.2.3. Embedded objects (aka components) contains the following: {code:java} @AttributeOverrides( { @AttributeOverride(name="iso2", column = @Column(name="bornIso2") ), @AttributeOverride(name="name", column = @Column(name="bornCountryName") ) } ) {code} However, @AttributeOverrides actually takes an array, so the correct syntax changes the curly braces to square brackets: {code:java} @AttributeOverrides( [ @AttributeOverride(name="iso2", column = @Column(name="bornIso2") ), @AttributeOverride(name="name", column = @Column(name="bornCountryName") ) ] ) {code} This is of course a trivial (though helpful!) fix; I plan to use it to gain experience contributing, and will edit this ticket to add a patch (or pull request?) shortly. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
