Abject apologies. I had the import statement wrong. Looking good now, and many thanks!

Kind regards,

Hi,

Just wanted to throw in my two cents. Without any offence meant to anyone working on Hibernate Annotations, my experience with it has been horrible. Stuff that used to work fine with XDoclet (as ugly as it might be) simply did not work under Annotations. It didn't just not work, it gave me absolutely confusing error messages which resulted in me wasting weeks trying to track them down only to find out the problem is likely a bug in annotations support and not in my code. I have already filed some JIRA issues and I'm currently waiting for them to be fixed.

My advice to you is to keep your XDoclet markup until you know for sure that Hibernate Annotations will work for you. If it doesn't you can always go back to XDoclet.

I think Annotations currently has problems supporting Generics (which I use heavily in my code) so if you use them, watch out!

One cent from here -- if you are starting with Hibernate from scratch (and never used XDoclet and don't like extra-xml-files), don't hesitate using the Annotations beta package. It works great!

Cheers,
Christian
