metadata-complete for mapped-superclass

Hi,

The metadata-complete attribute is used to ignore the annotations of an entity/mapped-superclass.
I have doubt that if in a mapping file the metadata-complete="true" is specified for a mapped-superclass , are the annotations on it’s child classes also ignored?

Hi

From JPA specification :

If the metadata-complete attribute is specified on the mapped-superclass element itself, any annotations on the mapped superclass (and its fields and properties) are ignored. When metadata-complete is specified on the mapped-superclass element and XML elements are omitted,the default values apply to the given class.

IMHO this works only in the specified class.

Looks like so but not certain
