[hibernate-dev] hiberate-commons-annotations and locating annotations

[Steve Ebersole]

So actually what happens is that the XProperty is from the superclass.

This goes back to SimpleValueBinder, and the attempt to hook 
AttributeConverter resolution into that code.  Specifically in 
org.hibernate.cfg.annotations.SimpleValueBinder#setType when we are 
passed the XProperty.  Maybe this is not the correct place to tie in 
this processing.  Or maybe using the passed XProperty is not the 
correct thing to do.

All I know is that given an XProperty, I cannot find annotations that 
are specific to the class being mapped in SimpleValueBinder and given 
PropertyHolder I cannot search composite paths.
