[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Issue Comment Edited: (HHH-4358) Having to use @ForceDiscriminator kind of breaks JPA compatibility

[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-4358?page=c... ] Karsten Wutzke edited comment on HHH-4358 at 12/20/11 2:39 PM: --------------------------------------------------------------- OK I probably misunderstood the "making fun of". Winter is not my time honestly. :( Thanks for the insight, but I still don't see why Hibernate doesn't simply persist a discriminator. How would I get Hibernate to do it now as a workaround? If I understand correctly JOINED inheritance simply uses joins on sub entities to determine the actual type (only disjoint inheritance supported), which can't work for SINGLE_TABLE. That's all that came to my mind. I'm mostly flooded trying to solve business problems. In the end it's hard to explain to a customer when you recommend Hibernate as a OR mapper and it doesn't simply do the things you'd expect (Michael's "assumed thing" I concur with). My customer first thought I was doing something wrong with Hibernate, then they thought I recommended the wrong tool... not good in any case, y'know... I will open an RFE then. Thanks for your patience. was (Author: kwutzke): OK I probably misunderstood the "making fun of".
