[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (ANN-594) Filters for MappedSuperClass

Filters for MappedSuperClass ---------------------------- Key: ANN-594 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-594 Project: Hibernate Annotations Issue Type: New Feature Components: binder Affects Versions: 3.3.0.ga Reporter: Shawn Clowater Priority: Minor Based on discussion from http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=963539&start=0 Essentially, it would be nice to be able to define filters on a MappedSuperClass and have them 'trickle down' to the subclasses. (at the class level - not sure if property level filters are carried down right now). I see the MappedSuperClass as a means to define generic behaviour (common columns, etc) and I think it makes sense for the filters to play nicely as well. In addition, I don' t know if it is already a separate JIRA request, filters off of an Interface would be fantastic as well as our application is using filters heavily and are always looking at ways to reduce the amount of filter annotations that we have to spread around. Right now, we're either forced to copy filter annotations all over the place OR we've actually been a bit sneaky and have tapped into custom persisters to dynamically apply common filters. However, there is a separate issue based on the order that entity persisters are built.
