In the recent version 1.1 there is a change in behaviour for references to classes with id.
As a result, a mapping that was working before (e.g. in version 1.0.5) causes an exception.
Here is sample mapping:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mapping>

<class name="sample.Identifiable"
verify-constructable="false" identity="id">
<map-to xml="Identifiable" />
<field name="id" type="string">
<bind-xml name="id" node="attribute" />
</field>
</class>

<class name="sample.Person" extends="sample.Identifiable" >
<map-to xml="Person" />
<field name="name" type="string">
<bind-xml name="name" node="attribute" />
</field>
</class>

<class name="sample.Department">
<map-to xml="Department" />
<field name="members" type="sample.Person" collection="arraylist">
<bind-xml name="members" node="attribute"
reference="true"/>
</field>
</class>

</mapping>

Previously, the mapping led to

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Department members="id-1 id-2"/>

but in the recent version, the following exception is thrown.

Unable to resolve ID for instance of class 'sample.Person' due to the following error: No identity descriptor available

The complete test case is attached. Mapping file map1.xml gives the expected result, while map2.xml fails.
