[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-537) Support @Comment or column attribute on @Table and @Column

[Edmundo de Andrade (JIRA)]

    [ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-537?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_29963 ] 

Edmundo de Andrade commented on ANN-537:
----------------------------------------

Following Emmanuel's ideas, I was wondering why not to try this approach:

@ColumnOrFormula(column=@j.p.Column, formula=@Formula, comment="...")

I think @ColumnOrFormula is an abstraction that fullfills the requirements of an hypothtical annotation @o.h.a.Column.
With just one annotation @ColumnOrFormula, we could comment not only columns but formulas too.

I believe we'll need an annotation to group ColumnOrFormula's:

@ColumnsAndFormulas(columnsAndformulas={@ColumnOrFormula(column=...), @ColumnOrFormula(@formula=)...})

What do you think?

PS: I didn't find any unit test for table comments inside Hibernate Annotations project. I would like to know if it's worth to create unit tests for new annotations (specially for column comments)? I am interested in contributing as I need this feature implemented as soon as possible.
