Description Karen Butzke CLA 2008-07-17 14:47:07 EDT 
It could be useful to specify multiple converters using annotations on a particular entity.  Currently you can specify one each of Converter, TypeConverter, StructConverter, ObjectTypeConverter.  In the orm.xml multiple of each are allowed.  We could support this with Converters,  TypeConverters, StructConverters, ObjectTypeConverters annotations.
Comment 1 Karen Butzke CLA 2008-09-30 14:39:06 EDT 
Are there any thoughts on this kind of support being added?  I am currently working Dali support for converters at the entity level and for now am going with the assumption that our java and xml support will just have to be different.  In java only support adding one of each type of converter and in xml support add/remove functionality to add multiple of each type of converter.

Unless there is a real push to do this, it is unlikely to be implemented before 2.0.  I am setting the target to 2.0 - meaning we will reevaluate in the 2.0 timeframe.
Comment 3 Peter Krogh CLA 2009-11-27 13:41:46 EST 
This bug fix did not make the cut off for 2.0.0. We are deferring the bugs to Future where we can properly sort them all together based on community votes and severity. We will then assign them accordingly to future patch sets and releases.
Comment 4 Peter Krogh CLA 2009-11-30 11:37:37 EST 
Changing the priority of the bugs that have been recently triaged to future.  Targetting them to P2 will differentiate them from the P3s that have been triaged into future earlier.

Plural converters were added through bug 282773
