Description David McCann CLA 2010-06-10 14:08:29 EDT 
If Employee has a composite mapping to Address, which is marked transient, the following integrity exception is thrown:

Caused by: Exception [EclipseLink-0] (Eclipse Persistence Services - @VERSION@.@QUALIFIER@): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.IntegrityException
Descriptor Exceptions: 
---------------------------------------------------------

Exception [EclipseLink-110] (Eclipse Persistence Services - @VERSION@.@QUALIFIER@): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DescriptorException
Exception Description: Descriptor is missing for class [org.example.Address].
Mapping: org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.mappings.XMLCompositeObjectMapping[address]
Descriptor: XMLDescriptor(org.example.Employee --> [DatabaseTable(employee)])

We should detect this earlier (during Xml/Annotations processing or mappings generation) and throw a detailed exception.
