Re: A couple of OSUser questions

As quoting from Hibernate Documentation:

"There is an alternative <composite-id> declaration to allow access to 
legacy data with composite keys. We strongly discourage its use for 
anything else."

Can we please hold off applying the foreign PK patch until more people 
have chimed in?

Cheers,
