[ http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/ANN-103?page=co... ] Feybesse commented on ANN-103: ------------------------------ I am surprised this issue has not been assigned: If you have a lot of inherited classes, it's very useful to have the possibility to map the secondary tables with annotations a fetch = "select". Without this possibility, Hibernate generates multiples cascading outer join that can't be acceptable in regards the performance. Thank you for your work.
