Description

for example, would like to be able to declare:

@Target(TYPE)
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@PersistenceCapable( identityType = IdentityType.DATASTORE)
@DatastoreIdentity( strategy = IdGeneratorStrategy.NATIVE)
@Version( strategy = VersionStrategy.VERSION_NUMBER)
public @interface EntityWithIdAndVersion {

    @AliasFor( annotation = PersistenceCapable.class, attribute = "schema")
    String schema() default "";

    @AliasFor( annotation = DatastoreIdentity.class, attribute = "column")
    String idColumn() default "id";

    @AliasFor( annotation = Version.class, attribute = "column")
    String versionColumn() default "version";

} 

and then:

 @EntityWithIdAndVersion( schema = "ORGANISATION")
public class Party {}

however, this results in:

"ObjectSpecification is missing an EntityFacet" exception.
