Re: Annotations for embedded Key, Value, and Element

Hi Andy,

The only thing needed is the Embedded[] embedded() default {} element

@Element "embedded" (String) has the same use as
<collection embedded-element="...">

Thanks,

Yes, this is part of the separation of jdo from orm metadata. It might make sense to preserve the name of the attributes and put the corresponding annotation elements embeddedElement, embeddedKey, and embeddedValue into @Field and @Property and then use embedded() for mapping. Have you looked at how to do mapping of embedded element, key, and value with the current annotations? I might have missed something obvious...
