Ability to use a MappedSuperClass without being enhanced as long as it doesn't have persistent fields

Ok, I'm pretty sure I understand.

You have a @MappedSuperClass but all the non-static fields on your Model class are annotated with @transient. That means there are no persistent properties on this particular @MappedSuperClass bean and hence it should not need to be enhanced.

Currently you are seeing a IllegalStateException("Super type ameaba.db.model.Model is not enhanced?"). What you want is for Ebean to check that this particular class has no persistence properties (non transient fields) and hence should pass the check even though it is not enhanced.

I understand the issue, I'll look into some more but I expect to be able to fix this issue.

Note that this fix also requires the use of the 4.1.5 version of the enhancement agent.
