transient properties in orm.xml

Hibernate version: 3.2.1.ga

Mapping documents: orm.xml and persistence.xml

Hello
How can i avoid that Hibernate tries to persist transient properties.

I'm not using annotations because i want my domain model as clean as possible, and i don't want to deploy the hibernate libraries together with my client code.

Therefore i'm using orm.xml and persistence.xml on my repository layer.

In the standard orm it is possible to specify a property with

Code:

to tell jpa that this property should not be persisted

This doesn't seem to work with Hibernate

Any workarounds except for using annotations?

Even if you add annotations to a domain model, you don't have to deploy the annotations jar in the classpath (annotations will then be ignored). I think that should solve your problem :)

Can you write a simple test case and post it to JIRA? This might be a bug.

My bad...
I created a clean empty project for the testcase i wanted to submit.

When creating the pom.xml i found out that i had an old library mixed in within my dependencies.

Removing this library solved the problem

Anyway...
I would have struggled to find this bug if i should continue with my existing project, so thanks for your help
