Yes, this is tricky. But this is what I called in my message "very
vendor specific". TopLink and WebSphere both support the simple
one-field->one-db-column mapping, right? So they could both benefit from
a generic @ejb:column-name tag. If the programmer needs the advanced
vendor features, then that's nothing left but to use the vendor-specific
tags.

You said you was the first guy to propose this kind of modification. Do
you still hold your position to it or has you been convinced that's
better to have different vendor tags?

Note: I'm subscribed to the xdoclet-devel list. So you don't need to
reply to me and the list.
