title: Is Hibernate / JPA taking in consideration the transient modifier ( not the annotation )
body: <p>I want to avoid serialisation ( in JMS / AMF ) but still persist the field with JPA/Hibernate.</p>
  
  <p>Is the <code>transient</code> modifier my friend ? Are <code>@Transient</code> annotation and the <code>transient</code> modifier related or not a all ?</p>
  
  <p>The java specification precise that a transient field will not be saved to a persistent storage by a system service. But is hibernate a system service ? ( i dont think so )

  <p>And <code>java.io.Serialisable</code> seams to indicate that a <code>out.writeObject</code> <code>and in.readObject</code> are called for serialisation

  <p>Any insight ?</p>
  
  <p>Maybe should i just write a quick test, but i will be more confident with a piece of spec.</p>
  
  <p>Thank !</p>
