I would like to know if it is possible to override an embedded field to turn it transient. The use case is:


@Embeddable
public class Person {
private String name;
private Date dateOfBirth;
...
@Column(name = "NAME")
public String getName() {
return name;
}
@Column(name = "BIRTH")
public Date getDateOfBirth() {
return dateOfBirth;
}
...
}

@Entity
public class Actor {
private Person person;
...
@Embedded
// I need to turn dateOfBirth transient
public Person getPerson() {
return person;
}
...
}

Any way to do this.

Thanks.

Same issue here...although I'm not using the @Embedded annotation.

Code sample:



Now, I understand I can't override the @Column annotation with the @Transient. After some googling I found some results on a @TransientOverride annotation (http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?p=2395197) but I can't find that one in the javax.persistence set or org.hibernate.annotations set...
