Hello:

I have an entity that was not implementing the Serializable interface. I started to use the @JoinTable annotation as part of a new ManyToMany mapping. It seems like the @JoinTable requires my entity to implement Serializable interface, otherwise it throws some sort of ClassCastException. Anyone has any idea why does it require so? I cannot really make this entity to be serializable. I would appreciate any pointers.

Thank you,
Soby Chacko
