hbm Annotations 3.1b4 /ejb3-persistence.jar, hbm 3.1 b1 (tried 3.1b2 aswell)
Oracle 9i / 10g:

Problem: superclass not recognised as annotatated class.

org.hibernate.AnnotationException: No identifier specified for entity: my.domain.some.package.SomeEntity at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationBinder.bindClass(AnnotationBinder.java:569)
at org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.secondPassCompile(AnnotationConfiguration.java:194)
at org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.buildSessionFactory(Configuration.java:999)

where the annotated super class (not an entity) is just used to parent @Id @Version for all persistent subclasses. So the Id for my.domain.some.package.SomeEntity is defined in the superclass but this is not being recognised.

Code works with hbm3.05 / edr2-persistence.jar / annotations b1&2 but not latest beta of annotations / ejb3-persistence.jar.

I've tried @EmbeddableSuperclass but this errors:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.mapping.ManyToOne.createPropertyRefConstraints(Ljava/util/Map;)V

many thks in advance.

pls ignore previous post, I had hbm classes on the classpath from earlier debugging. hbm 3.1 b1 and annotation 3.1 b4 with ejb-persistence.jar working OK.
