symfony 2 switching between types of entity schema description (doctrine)

Question

I develop store using SyliusSandbox bundle. Sylius uses xml files to store ORM schema for entities.

I've copied its xml definitions to my Bundle and use it there.

But for my own entities, I'd like to use annotations. So, basically I need to mix two types of definitions in one bundle. If I try to persist an entity which is using annotations, I get an error that xml file for this entity was not found:

No mapping file found named 'ShopBundle\Resources\config\doctrine/ProductLocalized.orm.xml' for class '\ShopBundle\Entity\ProductLocalized'.

My entity looks like this:

<?php

namespace Pixeljets\ShopBundle\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * Pixeljets\ShopBundle\Entity\ProductLocalized
 *
 * @ORM\Table(name="product_localized")
 * @ORM\Entity
 */
class ProductLocalized
{
    /**
     * @var integer $id
     *
     * @ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")
     * @ORM\Id

    private $id;

    /**

How can I 'tell' symfony to use annotation approach for schema?

Answer 1

You cannot mix metadata formats inside of a bundle:

From: http://symfony.com/doc/current/book/doctrine.html

A bundle can accept only one metadata definition format. For example, it's not 
possible to mix YAML metadata definitions with annotated PHP entity class definitions.

You will need to use two bundles or stick with one format.
