[hibernate-dev] subselect mappings

[Steve Ebersole]

Also, annotations currently do not support the full breadth of 
subselect mappings available in hbm.xml.

For example, secondary tables in annotations cannot be defined using 
these subselecty mappings while they can in hbm.xml.  If its important, 
it should be avilable everywhere no?
