[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1230?page=c... ] Steve Ebersole commented on HHH-1230: ------------------------------------- This is different. The entity always must have define identifier metadata, aka column(s). However, they do not need to map that column(s) to properties on the entity. That is actually still the case. That is the "feature" to be removed. -- 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
