That’s an interesting thought. > But annotations in my opinion don't scale very well for tree structures. I share Emmanuel’s concern on this one. I think you would get some quite nasty constructs, once you want to provide the full query capabilities. Whether or not annotations defined queries would then be easier to read than DSL queries becomes then a matter of taste. I for example am still holding on to good old native Lucene queries. For a pure dev point, supporting all these different query capabilities is of course a pain, since the work you have to do for each new feature keep growing. —Hardy _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
