Message Title

I was just trying to update my app release to Hibernate 5.3.4 as i stumbled accross the newly introduced exception.
(...Caused by: org.hibernate.AnnotationException: An entity annotated with @Inheritance cannot use @AttributeOverride or @AttributeOverrides...)

I have kind of a different setup on my side, but definitely see your point of inconsistent schema definitions.

Can you think about the following scenario just for a second? (yes i would LOVE to change my schema right away if i had the possibility, but sadly i cannot change my old and crappy legacy database schema at the moment):


@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name = "setype", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.STRING, length = 30)
@Table(name = "BASE")
public abstract class GenericEntry {

	protected Long id;

	@Override
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
	@Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false, updatable = false)
	@JsonIgnore
	public Long getId() {
		return id;
	}
	
	//ommited since irrelevant
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "XXX")
@DiscriminatorValue(SetypeIndex.XXX)
@PrimaryKeyJoinColumn(name = "xxxid")
@AttributeOverrides({@AttributeOverride(name = "id", column = @Column(name = "xxxid", unique = true))})
public class CfmsXXX extends GenericEntry {

	private Long xxxid;

	@Column(name = "xxxid", unique = true, nullable = false, insertable = false, updatable = false)
	public Long getXxxid() {
		return this.xxxid;
	}
	
	//ommited since irrelevant
	
}

until now my code was working fine with my crappy legacy schema. Since i will shutdown the old app rather later than soon, i won't be able to change my schema.
