[hibernate-dev] Annotations and JPA

[Julien Martin]

Hello,

I am looking into the source code of Hibernate and I am trying to better
understand how it is implemented.
My question relates to annotation processing by Hibernate. Let's take a
simple JPA annotation : [code]@Column[/code].

I would like to know:
-What is the class in charge of processing the annotation (at runtime I
suppose)?
-How and when is the relevant method of that class invoked (at runtime I
suppose)?

Any clue welcome,

Thanks in advance for your replies,

Julien.
