Hibernate version:
3.2.2

I would like to use a meta element to add some an annotation to some get methods.

Is this supported yet in hbm2java or am I going to have to write a patch?

There is a bug here:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/project ... se/HBX-713
which talks about adding annotations at the class level.

In this case I want to add @Auditable annotations to my get methods.

Just a quick extension with an example. I wish to be able to do:

<property name="name" column="name" type="string">
<meta attribute="get-method-annotation">@Auditable</meta>
</property>

Which will generate:

@Auditable
public String getName() {
return name;
}

No this haven't been done, and i'm not sure if it is really a good idea ...where do stop - when is the hbm.xml more code than mappings?

Note: if you put up a patch i will consider it - especially if you have good usecase ,)
