disabling DataCache for entities specified in orm.xml

[Jeff Melching <jm...@us.ibm.com>]

In my application we use orm.xml files rather than annotations to specify 
the entities. I am trying to disable the DataCache for certain entities, 
but my @DataCache(enabled=false) is being ignored even when I specify 
metadata-complete="false" in my orm file.  If switch over the entity to 
use pure annotations, everything works fine.

Is there any support for adding openjpa specific features when using orm 
mapping files, or is this just a bug?

Jeff,
OpenJPA-specific annotations (such as
org.apache.openjpa.persistence.DataCache) do not have corresponding xml
elements.  We have an existing JIRA Issue to address this issue (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-125).  We also have an open
Issue for the specific problem you are describing where the annotation does
not seem to override any corresponding xml descriptors (
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-87).  So, known issues that
just haven't risen to the top yet...
