Value object(<component>) inheritance mapping --------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-1152 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-1152 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: New Feature Components: core Affects Versions: 3.1 beta 2 Reporter: Vjeran Marcinko Priority: Minor Though fine-grained object mapping is one of Hibernate's main objectives, it still doesn't support *value object* (<component>) inheritance mapping, only entity inheritance mapping. It would be best if <component> tag could also contain similar tags for inheritance as entity does.
