[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-394) <properties> for annotations

[Raja (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-394?page=comments#action_24743 ] 

Raja commented on ANN-394:
--------------------------

Can the grouping be done with annotations similar to how TestNG groups testgroups? We could have something like
@Column (propertyGroup = "mygroup")
private String prop1;
@Column( propertyGroup = "mygroup")
private String prop2;

which could translate into
<properties name="mygroup">
      <property name="prop1" />
      <property name="prop2" />
</properties>

> @Properties at the entity level is nasty but is the only one I can think of that fits all the needs.
