I have been using annotation in our application. A new requirement that needs us to use dynamic component to resolve. But I could not find how to do that using annotation. Based on the forum it seems like you cannot use annotation for dynamic component.

So I would like to know has someone implement some kind of annotation support for dynamic component. Is there a plan for Hibernate to provide annotation support for dynamic component? If so, when? If not, why not? I thought the idea is to move away from the hbm.xml files to annotation.

Another question is if there is no support then I guess I would need to convert the annotation to hbm.xml files. Is there a tool that can generate the hbm.xml files from the annotation classes.

Thanks
