@CollectionOfElements with @ManyToOne

Thankyou for @CollectionOfElements. It is much simpler for modelling value semantics than entities with delete-orphan cascades.

Are there plans to allow the equivalent of:

Code:

<set ...>
  <composite-element ...>
    <many-to-one ...>
      ...
    </many-to-one>
  </composite-element>
</set>

This seems to be a restriction on what you can have in @Embeddable as described in the docs when discussing EJB3 embedded objects. I'm suprised EJB3 allows @Embedded at all if it doesn't allow @ManyToOne within the @Embeddable!

I looked for a JIRA indicating that this will be implemented, but didn't find one.

Chris.
