[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Closed: (HBX-723) hbm2doc shows abstract classes as tables

hbm2doc shows abstract classes as tables ---------------------------------------- Key: HBX-723 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-723 Project: Hibernate Tools Type: Bug

Components: hbm2doc Versions: 3.2beta6 Environment: Hibernate 3.2 cr3, Oracle database, Windows machine, Ant 1.6..5 Reporter: Jeff Priority: Minor Fix For: 3.2beta8

Take for example an abstract class Person and a class that extends Person called User. Mapped in one mapping file using <union-subclass>. <hibernate-mapping package="crown.core.domainobjects"> <class name="Person" abstract="true"> <cache usage="read-write" /> <id name="id" type="long"> <column name="PERSON_ID"> <comment>the primary key for hibernate</comment> </column> <generator class="sequence"> <param name="sequence">PERSON_SEQ</param> </generator> </id> <property name="firstName" type="string"> <column name="FIRST_NAME" length="50" not-null="true"> <comment>the first name</comment> </column> </property> <union-subclass name="User" table="CROWN_USERS" lazy="false"> <comment>Table of crown users</comment> <property name="userName" type="string"> <column name="USER_NAME" length="15" not-null="true" unique="true"> <comment>the unique user id</comment> </column> </property> </union-subclass> </hibernate-mapping> When the hbm2doc ant task is executed it will list the CROWN_USERS table with the columns mapped for both Person and User correctly. However, it will also list a table Person with all the columns mapped in Person even though it isn't actually a table in the database. The <<hbm2ddl> task works correctly and does not create a Person table.
