Sorry for the late reply. I had a read through and what you describe is what I would expect (in fact I hope
I basically implemented it this way on the metamodel branch).

There is a typo in example 4:

@Entity

public class PublishedDocument extends Document 

Should be @Access(FIELD)

Where MemberDescriptor and JavaTypeDescriptor are the descriptors from the new reflite layer, right?
This should work.
