Is Linda not on the persistence mailing list?
Sahoo, this comment in the spec was there primarily for the
annotations case. We will try to add some language that makes
it clearer, but there is no reason why you wouldn't be able to
set different access types for different entities in XML.
The question that I expected you to ask is the part that we
have not specified in the spec yet, which is what happens
when access is set on an entity that is not metadata complete
(ie annotations may have been processed on it).
We will add a section to describe how access works,
but essentially it applies to all of the mappings defined
in XML. If metadata-complete attribute is set then that access
type will also be applied to the default mappings that get added.
