Is there TopLinkGrid examples with XML descriptor deployment?

Question

Hi,
Oracle docs include examples of using Oracle Coherence (as shared cache) with TopLinkGrid, but with annotations.
Is there somewhere examples/docs about using TopLinkGrid, but with XML descriptor deployment ?
Thanks.
Regards,
Dominique

With TopLink Grid usage configured per Entity using EclipseLink customizers, you can either use annotations or specify in in the eclipselink-orm.xml file.
For example, the following ecilpselink-orm.xml could be used in the OTN GridCache example with all the Java annotations removed. Note the specification of:
