I have heard no more comments, so I will move forward with this as stated earlier.
Additionally, I started working the a PoC for the idea of making this resolution pluggable. Here is the initial stroke for the contract: /** * Contract responsible for resolving the members that identify the persistent * attributes for a given class descriptor representing a managed type. * * These members (field or method) would be where we look for mapping annotations * for the attribute. * * Additionally, whether the member is a field or method would tell us the default * runtime access strategy * * @author Steve Ebersole */ public interface PersistentAttributeMemberResolver { /** * Given the ManagedType Java type descriptor and the implicit AccessType * to use, resolve the members that indicate persistent attributes. * * @param managedTypeDescriptor The ManagedType Java type descriptor * @param implicitAccessType The implicit AccessType for the resolution * * @return The list of "backing members" */ public List<MemberDescriptor> resolveMembers( JavaTypeDescriptor managedTypeDescriptor, AccessType implicitAccessType); } On Sun, Mar 30, 2014 at 9:51 AM, Steve Ebersole <st...@hibernate.org> wrote: > I have pushed the latest topical guide: > https://github.com/hibernate/hibernate-orm/blob/master/documentation/src/main/asciidoc/topical/accesstype/AccessType.adoc > > Thoughts?
