[hibernate-dev] hibernate-commons-annotations and Class references

[Steve Ebersole]

I am working in the org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.SimpleValueBinder 
class.  I need to be able to search for an annotation that exists either 
on the property or on the entity that defines that property (or on one 
of that entity's super-classes).  I have no idea how to achieve this 
with hibernate-commons-annotations.

As far as I can tell you need to manually get the Class reference in 
order to be able to get the XClass reference?  Is that correct?

Also, at what point, if any, during SimpleValueBinder processing can I 
be certain that the owning entity class and its super-classes have been 
processed?
