Hi, first of all, excuse the long reply time... I was on Hollydays, and I don't know why but my computer doesn't work =-O  ;-) Second. Happy "New" Year. My reply is below.

Well I dont think the behaviour has changed in this respect. Can you be more explicit? Is this on the Entity or the EntityImpl? The Entity has always been generated with abstract methods. The EntityImpl has generated methods which obey the abstract setting in the model. You're right. I've made a simple test model, and everything is done as expected. Is what I've try to explain... but with  my poor english... not as well as I'd expect. :-( I've tried some cases in my model and the problem comes with finder methods. I've got one parent class with two children. I need a finder method for the hierarchie, but the implementation difers between children. So, I've putted and abstract finder method on the parent, and one (deferring the one of the father) on each child. The problem is that the abstract finder is generated in parent factory (not as asbtract) and also in the children factory, but twice here. One for the parent's abstract, one for the child's deferred. As you can imagine, when I compile the children I get that the method is already defined... for each one of them. How can I model this without errors? I hope this time I've expained it clearly... if not, I'll try it again. Cheers Bruno All of the methods I put on <<Entity>>s are marked as abstract, even when they aren't. I don't want them to be deferred as they have the same behaviour for all the hierarchy. They're not abstract methods. With this, I have to duplicate the code of the method for each one of the children... Is just copy&paste... but changes on code have to be replicated each time on each children class. In my humble opinion methods have their own "abtractness", independent than the one of the class. If the method is abtract, it has to be deferred and implemented on each children. But if it's not, it has to be implemented on the abstract class and all the children inherits the behaviour. Am I wrong? Have I a lack of OOP theory or is it a bug?
