[Marcos Silva Pereira (JIRA)]

Automatic mapping for bean properties.
--------------------------------------

         Key: HHH-2287
         URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-2287
     Project: Hibernate3
        Type: Improvement

  Components: metamodel, core  
    Versions: 3.2.2    
 Environment: Does not matter
    Reporter: Marcos Silva Pereira
    Priority: Trivial


Hibernate JPA support can mapping properties without an annotation, in other words, the properties are automatically mapped and, if I don't want to map some property, I must annotate it with the @Transient annotation.

I really think that automatic properties mapping could be a great enhancement to make XML mapping more simple. Per instance, if I have the following class (mapped using annotations):

@Entity
public class MyEntity {
 
 @Id
 private Long id;

 // the properties below are mapped
 // without annotations
 private String name;
 private String email;
 private int age;

 // gets, sets and other stuff.
}

The equivalent XML for this class would be:

<hibernate-mapping>
    <class name="MyEntity" automatic-property-mapping="true">
        <id name="id">
            <generator class="native" />
        </id>
    </class>
</hibernate-mapping>

Sorry if it was duplicated but I can't found something like this here.
