Doing a simple object is certainly easy.  Does your code do  
relationships, e.g. in current model a profile has a collection of  
roles?

exactly

This auto-generation sounds kinda neat -- can it generate interfaces  
rather than classes?  I haven't tried to implement an enhancer but  
rather sort of stuffed what a jpa enhancer constructs directly inside  
the "pojos".  If these classes could implement a generated interface  
that might give us benefits of both approaches.  Or maybe what you  
have is sufficient.
