some dumb questions: i am using Seam with JPA (with Hibernate implementation) and considering to dump it in favor of plain good old Hibernate. I am basing my decision on the fact that I cannot map interfaces to tables with JPA. 1- am I on the correct track ? Now the dumbest part: I am not sure if mapping will be still easy, using annotations as in JPA. 2- Is Hibernate annotations meant to be a JPA feature only or there exists extensions to Hibernate annotations to make use of full Hibernate features, those beyond JPA? For instance, can I map an interface to a table with annotations or do I have to use hbm.xml mapping? View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4071096#...
