[13:14:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just because the data models never match up exactly
[13:14:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> how are you describing the Topic object to hibernate?
[13:14:33 CDT(-0500)] <cwaymire> I was trying to use some simply jaxb annotations to be able to export/import easily
[13:14:39 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[13:14:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> jen tried that too
[13:14:48 CDT(-0500)] <cwaymire> it currently using a hibernate mapping xml document
[13:14:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it never quite worked well
[13:15:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> we're actually just finishing a jpa2 retrofit on a portlet
[13:15:11 CDT(-0500)] <cwaymire> i could have it export the ID values but thats not something i'd like to do
[13:15:19 CDT(-0500)] <cwaymire> bad practice
[13:15:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and will be publishing documentation and some utility libraries in about a week
[13:15:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> right
