How to map *value object* hierarchy?

Hi.

When I have a value object inside some entity, I can map it using <component>. But how can I map hierarchy of value objects ?

I can see everywhere how to map hierarchy of entities (using discriminator values and so on...), but not value object hierarchy ?

Cheers,
Vjeran

As I mentioned on your Spring forum posting, use 'entity" type mappings with strong lifecycle rules specified via the cascade options.
