Andy Jefferson commented on JDO-403:
------------------------------------

In addition to the previous addition, please update the provided Field 
annotation (in the attached jar) to also include
=====================

    /** Name of the field when this is embedded in another object. */
    String embeddedFieldName() default "";
===================== 

This is for use (only) when the user wants to define the field mapping for 
embedded fields. To give an example of its usage

@PersistenceCapable
public class Computer
{
    @Field
    @Embedded(nullIndicatorColumn="GRAPHICS_MANUFACTURER", 
ownerField="computer",
        fields={
            @Field(embeddedFieldName="manufacturer", [EMAIL 
PROTECTED](name="GRAPHICS_MANUFACTURER")}),
            @Field(embeddedFieldName="type", [EMAIL 
PROTECTED](name="GRAPHICS_TYPE")})
        })
    private ComputerCard graphicsCard;
}

@PersistenceCapable
public class ComputerCard
{
    @Field
    private String manufacturer;

    @Field
    private int type;
}

so we are defining the mapping of the columns of ComputerCard when persisted 
into the table for Computer.

> It would be desirable for JDO2 to have its own set of annotations. We have 
> developed a set within JPOX that would likely serve as a starting point for 
> such a set. In my opinion they should be
> 1. Split into javax.jdo.annotations.jdo and javax.jdo.annotations.orm
> 2. Move ORM attributes from some of the JDO annotations and have a ORM 
> annotation.
