Composite element in Annotation

Hi,

I'm trying to map a many-to-many collection using a set of components. In an xml mapping document, this would look as follows:

<set name="items" table="category_items">
<key column="category_id"/>
<composite-element class="CategorizedItem">
<parent name="category"/>
<many-to-one name="item" class="Item" column="item_id" not-null="true"/>
<property name="dateAdded" column="date_added" not-null="true"/>
</composite-element>
</set>

However, I'm using annotations and wonder whether the same is possible. I can only find how to map a single component, not how to map a set of components for a many-to-many relation.

Thanks

Does this work now? If not, is there some plan when to implement this?

Excuse me, but I am searching http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/annot ... ml_single/ thru and thru but I am not able to find it...

Ah sorry, I read too fast.
This is not possible. But will be when Hibernate 3.2.1 and a subsequent version of Hibernate Annotations is released.

Basically the bug is fixed but it breaks compatibility

Any update on this topic? I run into the same situation and haven't found a solution yet.

I'm on Hibernate Core 3.5.0.CR1, which includes Hibernate Annotations 3.4.0 GA.
This feature still seems not addressed yet.
