Proper way to dig into Embedded with ManyToOne

[firstname lastname]

I have this scenario

@Entity

public class Entity1 {

  @Id

  private Long id;

  private String str;

}

@Embeddable

public class Embed {

  private String field1;

  @ManyToOne
   private Entity1 field2;
}

@Entity

public class Entity2 {

  @Id

  private Long id;

  @Embedded

  private Embed emb;

}

when I try to search like this:

DB.find(Entity2.class).where().eq("emb.field2.str", "foo")

I get an error that `field2` doesn't contain `str"

Do I miss something?

Ebean does not support @Embeddable that contain @ManyToOne.

So yeah, that isn't going to work. Ideally ebean detects this case and throws a nice exception saying that the mapping isn't supported - that the @ManyToOne Entity1 field2; isn't supported.
