I'm porting a hibernate program to annotations. Right now the features I'm missing (using the latest beta release) are,

1) minValue not supported in sequence generation. I have a hack workaround but it is inconvenient. Are there any plans to support it? (I use postgresql)

1)
@Table(name=""),
name not getting used (in hbm2ddl) for schema export.

2)
support for maps. Are these even supported in the EJB 3.0 spec?

I can't work out the equivalent of,
* @hibernate.map cascade="all-delete-orphan" lazy="true" inverse="true"
* @hibernate.collection-key column="fk_user_id"
* @hibernate.collection-index column="id" type="long"
* @hibernate.collection-one-to-many class="net.sportplan.model.Role"

I'm not sure there is one, but I can't reasonably continue upgrading until it is as its a very useful feature of hibernate.

3)
support for custom types. This might be supported but I can't workout how. The equivalent hbm file is,

<property
name="path"
type="net.sportplan.model.hibernate.LTreeUserType"
>
<column
name="path"
index="path_idx"
sql-type="ltree"
/>
</property>

and I generate it in XDoclet using,
* @hibernate.property column="path" not-null="true" unique="true"
* type="net.sportplan.model.hibernate.LTreeUserType" outer-join="true"
* @hibernate.column name="path" index="path_idx" sql-type="ltree"


any tips/timelines on completion appreciated[/code]

What do you mean by minValue


? What is the exact issue. Table names (whether default or not) are used by the SchemaExport. The unit test suite does use that.


Not supported by EJB3 as a non useful feature to map a relational model in a domain model. Anthony is working on the Hibernate implementation.


@Type

Oops. I sorted this one. I put @Table here but I tried to use @Entity[/i]
