Since EJB 20 Spec does not support SQL ANSI datatypes inside ejb-jar.xml, I suggest
that Orion accept folowing: accept JavaDoc like tags.
So, we can have following:
<entity>
<description>@Data-source jdbc/MySQL
@Table-name myOwnTable</description>
<cmp-field persistence-type="varchar(30)">
<description>@Persistence-type varchar(30)</description>
<field-name>userId</field-name>
</cmp-field>
</entity>
As this sample, Orion should map this entity bean to Datasource and table specified,
and the datatype of the fields...
Of course, user have choice to write anything inside <description></...> tags, to
maintain compatibility with spec...
What you do think about this?
