[jboss-user] [Persistence, JBoss/CMP, Hibernate, Database] - list's of composite-element's of Hibernate with Java Persist

Using Hibernate 3 i could define composite-elements like @Embeddable with Java Persistence. But Hibernate also allows collections of those composite-element's. | <class name="entity.Company"> | ... | <list name="company_addresses"> | <key column="id"/> | <list-index column="no"/> | <composite-element class="entity.Address"> | <property name="street"/> | ... | </composite-element> | </list> | ... | </class> | | <class name="entity.Freelancer"> | ... | <list name="freelancer_addresses"> | <key column="id"/> | <list-index column="no"/> | <composite-element class="entity.Address"> | <property name="street"/> | ... | </composite-element> | </list> | ... | </class> | That way i could use an entity like Address in multiple tables linked with several other entities without unnecessary inheritance like CompanyAddress extends Address and FreelancerAddress extends Address or even a kind of polymorphism like Company extends Addressable and Freelancer extends Addressable... Is it possible to design such a mapping with EJB 3 annotations? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3996964#...
