Kevin Sutter updated OPENJPA-1011:
----------------------------------
Priority: Critical (was: Major)
Issue Type: Improvement (was: New Feature)
Since I'm not ready to call this a "bug", I changed this from a "new feature"
to an "improvement"... Sound any better? :-) And, I raised the Priority.
We'll see if we can get any takers...
> Instantiate meta-model classes for JPA 2.0 from XML descriptors
> ---------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OPENJPA-1011
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1011
> Project: OpenJPA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Pinaki Poddar
> Assignee: Pinaki Poddar
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
> Original Estimate: 672h
> Remaining Estimate: 672h
>
> JPA 2.0 has introduced a specification for strictly-typed dynamic query
> construction. The type-strictness is based on availability of a meta-model.
> The user application can either use meta-model API to access the type
> information or instantiate the meta-model (referred as canonical meta-model)
> with a set of auto-generated classes for compile-time binding. This issue
> refers to instantiating the canonical meta-model at compile-time.
> The process involves processing source code annotations or xml descriptors.
> Annotation processing support in Java platform has significantly changed
> across JDK version 5 and 6. In JDK5, the annotation processing was supported
> by a command-line tool named apt based on com.sun.mirror API library. In JDK
> 6, the annotation processing is more seamlessly integrated with javac
> compilation process with javax.annotation API libraries.
> It is not obvious at this point on how to hook into compiler life-cycle when
> source code has *no* annotation and persistence meta-data is *only* available
> in XML descriptors.
