I've been experimenting with optimistic locking, and I couldn't find a class level hibernatedoclet setting to enable the "optimistic-lock" feature. This was surprising because nearly all of the hibernate meta-data can be captured in xdoclet tags.

Is there a specific technical reason for this, or has no one yet spent the time to contribute a patch?

I would expect:



The only tricky case I can think of if there is also a property flagged as a <version> indicator. In that case, the optimisitc-lock setting would be ignored, or forced to take on the value 'version'.

Thanks in advance,
Christian

I check the 1.2.2 RC1 code and Its not implemented. All that is needed is a patch.

I implemented this feature the other night.

Check out: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/xdoclet/browse/XDT-1104

You can find my patch there.
