[hibernate-dev] Entity, MappedSuperclass, and Embeddable

[Gail Badner]

There is a discussion about XML overriding rules in Section 12.2 of the JPA 2.0 spec.

Are the following overrides possible?
1) Can an @Entity annotation be overridden using XML <mapped-superclass> or <embeddable>?
2) Can a @Mappedsuperclass annotation be overridden using XML <entity> or <embeddable>?
3) Can a @Embeddable annotation be overridden using XML <entity> or <mapped-superclass>?

Supporting this would obviously affect the Hierarchical domain info.

If any of these overrides are valid, then we should discuss this at the Tuesday morning meeting.

Regards,
Gail
