Is it really necessary to explicitly specifiy discriminatorValue for abstract classes?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HHH-5798
URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-5798
Project: Hibernate Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: entity-manager
Affects Versions: 3.6.0
Reporter: Oleksandr Alesinskyy
At the time being if the SINGLE_TABLE inheritance strategy is used, the discriminator type is set to char and some abstract classes in the hierarchy do not have an explicit discriminator value specified the following error occurs:

At the same time it is clear that no one row in the corresponding table may represent the abstract class, so it is absolutely safe to completely ignore abstract classes when decision is made which class is represented by a row.
