Может ли класс @Embeddable быть частным?

Есть ли в спецификации JPA что-нибудь, что описывает допустимый класс @Embeddable? Я просмотрел, но ничего не нашел .

Я использую EclipseLink (2.3.0-M7 - полная строка сборки 2.3.0.v20110429-r9282) с Hibernate (3.6.4.Final) и Spring (3.0. 5) и настроили мое приложение, как описано в EclipseLink / Examples / MOXy / Spring / JAXBAnnotations . Все остальное работает уже несколько месяцев. Я добавлял класс @Embeddable и начал получать NPE.

Вот пример кода, который, я надеюсь, кто-то может использовать для его воспроизведения, если это ошибка EclipseLink, потому что я удаляю библиотеку и конфигурацию EclipseLink (и возвращаюсь к реализации Hibernate. ), то я больше не получаю NPE.

Тестовый класс Broken.java

package x.y.z.model;

import javax.persistence.*;
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*;
import java.io.Serializable;

@Entity
public class Broken {
    @EmbeddedId
    private Pk pk = new Pk();

    @Embeddable 
    private static class Pk implements Serializable {
        @ManyToOne
        private String foo;

        public String getFoo() {
            return this.foo;
        }
        public void setFoo(String foo) {
            this.foo = foo;
        }
    }
}

Конфигурация компонента Spring, которая у меня есть:

(см. ссылку выше для класса XMLHelper )

Наконец, я добавляю следующее в jaxb.index :

Broken

При запуске приложения Spring я получаю следующее исключение:

Если я изменю класс @Embeddable с private на public (и использую EclipseLink), NPE больше не произойдет. Итак, у меня есть решение, которое работает, но я хочу понять, почему.
