• Annotation이 아닌 XML을 통해(orm.xml) 엔티티를 설정하는 것도 가능하다.
• 기본 파일 경로는 클래스패스 내의 META-INF/orm.xml이며, 이 경우에는 자동으로 읽는다.
• 별도 경로는 JPA persistence.xml에서 <mapping-file>package/to/orm.xml</mapping-file> 형태로 기술한다.
• JPA Persistence XML Schemas
• Persisting Entity Classes using XML in JPA
• JPA Overriding metadata through XML
