Question

I am currently exploring Hibernate annotation and I am finding it better than having a lot of configuration XML files.

However, I cannot find the documentation for the each annotation. For example, I would like to check out the list of attributes of an @table annotation other than name.

I checked out the doc files and API from the downloaded hibernate annotation but can’t find any complete reference. Where can I see or download it?

I am new to annotations as we are working solely on Java 1.4 before.

The javax.persistence classes are part of the JavaEE 5 API. See the javadoc here.

The Hibernate Annotations docs only document the Hibernate proprietary extensions to the base JavaEE API.
