[hibernate-dev] JPA 2.1 progress

[Steve Ebersole]

Just wanted to let everyone know that implementing JPA 2.1 support is 
moving along.  I had too much work here that I was worried about losing 
so I went ahead and pushed it to my fork.

Draft 6 from the expert group is almost completely implemented at this 
point.  The only outstanding item left from Draft 6 is support for 
"AttributeConverters" which I'll start on next.

If anyone wanted to start playing around with it or looking at it, like 
I said, its pushed to my fork:
https://github.com/sebersole/hibernate-core/tree/jpa21


I went a slightly different approach with our shiny new native stored 
procedure support compared to the JPA approach.  The hope was to make it 
easier to deal with the potential multiple interleaved 
ResultSet/updateCount returns.  Let me know if anyone has design 
improvements there.

Subquery support on CriteriaUpdate and CriteriaDelete objects is still 
undefined waiting for an updated spec addressing a problem there.

Other than that (and the AttributeConverter stuff) I fully expect this 
to fully address Draft 6.
