[hibernate-dev] @Spatials

[Nicolas Helleringer]

Hi all,

I'm working on the programatic mapping of HSEARCH-923 (spatial support) and
I had to implements @Spatials for
@Spatial as @Fields is to @Field

Emmanuel checked my work on my gtihub repo and some questions raised we
would like to share with you :

- Is @Spatials the right name for such a property ? It mimics @Fields but
it does not feels right.
Emmanuel proposes @Spatial.List (which I am not fond of, sorry) but it is
against Hibernate coding habits

- @Spatial is supported at entity level and at property level. But if it
seems ok for an entity to have multiples location
 through @Spatials (think a user with a work and a personnal
address/position) it seems more weird to have @Spatials
at property level.
The only use case I see is having a Coordinate property indexed in
different ways by having different
parameters sets for each @Spatial instance.

What do you think ?

Niko
