JPA Mapping limitations

There are 3 known JPA mappings that Ebean does not support.

116

Only single table inheritance is supported.

There is no planned support for JOINED or TABLE PER CLASS inheritance strategies.

1777

Only a single type converter per type is supported.

JPA @Converter autoApply false is not honoured. This means that we expect a type to be mapped consistently for all properties that it is used. For example, we can't have to Converters mapping Boolean two different ways in the same Ebean database instance.

2242

@Embeddable class does not support @OneToMany / @ElementCollection.

As @Embeddable does not have identity the case of supporting collections gets ugly. At this stage there is no planned support for this.
