No idea what model OGM needs, but I have a hard time seeing project specific meta data being shared.

Maybe if I would see some prototype code. But I am skeptical about this. > Note that I'm not sure whether that's a sound idea, just throwing it out :) Sure. np --Hardy _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
