[hibernate-dev] [OGM] Element collections stored embedded in entity

[Emmanuel Bernard]

There are two problems,

I am not sure why it uses "nicknames" as the property name, I don't 
think that's the actual default value in JPA, is it?
Otherwise, I agree with you, we could simplify it except when the 
collection is keyed or indexed. At this stage you need to store the key 
or the index next to the value.

About collection&&element, the bug is already opened 
https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/OGM-251
Hasn't been addressed yet :(
