Are persistence annotations in domain objects a bad practice?

Question

I realize that persistence frameworks such as Morphia and Hibernate rely on annotations on domain objects to do their magic. At some level, it seems to me that this is insertin

Answer 1

I would prefer rich domain objects which have the annotations on it. Even Evans uses this approach in his sample app. He uses XMl instead of Annotations but he still persists the same objects.

Maybe it´s more clean to separate domain and persistence but don´t do just to be able to potentially choose a different db technology in the future. It´s the way down to complexity hell and Mister YAGNI will bite you.
