Description Karen Butzke CLA 2012-01-27 10:27:32 EST 
EclipseLink dynamic persistence and extensible entities use the attribute-type attribute on VIRTUAL mappings. We need to validate that attribute-type has been specified for an attribute mapping with an access type of VIRTUAL. Also validate that the attribute-type is a valid type on the classpath or another dynamic type. We could have xml code completion for this attribute. The package element is used in conjunction with attribute-type.
Comment 1 Karen Butzke CLA 2012-02-29 15:26:52 EST 
Added the following validation:
These can exist EclipseLink attribute that has a specified or default access type of VIRTUAL:
1. Virtual attribute [attribute name] must specify an attribute-type
2. Attribute type [class name] does not exist

These were added to 1-m, m-m and element collection mappings if they define a map key class
3. Map key class [class name] is not an entity, embeddable or basic type
4. In implied attribute [attribute name], map key class [class name] is not an entity, embeddable or basic type

This was added for embedded or embedded-id mappings, there was no validation for an implied attribute:
5. In implied attribute [attribute name], [class name] is not mapped as an embeddable
