Milosz Tylenda commented on OPENJPA-1977:
-----------------------------------------

I am wondering whether the inability to handle final methods is not a regression. OpenJPA does byte code modification instead of subclassing, so how can the "final" modifier break code generation?

> Final methods are not supported but documentation sais they are

> When using final methods for the id field, the generated id is unavailable for the application.
> According to the mailing list, final methods are not supported, but the OpenJPA documentation sais so:
> http://openjpa.apache.org/builds/2.1.0/apache-openjpa-2.1.0/docs/manual/jpa_overview_pc.html#jpa_overview_pc_final
> So at least the documentation should be changed.
> An error message at runtime would also be fine - that would be also related to
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-465
