Does anyone have an example of how to configure hibernate to use a DynaBean? Currently I have:

<class name="test.Author" table="Author">

<id name="id" type="long" column="author_id" >
<generator class="sequence">
<param name="sequence">author_author_id_seq</param>
</generator>
</id>

<property name="name"/>

</class>

in my Author.hbm.xml file for a DynaBean of:

DynaProperty[] props = new DynaProperty[] { new DynaProperty("name"), new DynaProperty("id") };
DynaBean a = new BasicDynaBean(new BasicDynaClass("Author", BasicDynaBean.class, props));

Trying to store an Author dynabean in the database gives me:

Exception in thread "main" net.sf.hibernate.MappingException: No persister for: org.apache.commons.beanutils.BasicDynaBean

I can see in the manual that there is a dynabean tag, but there's no example of where it should go.

I'm an idiot. Found it in another part of the manual:

6.5. Dynabean components
