Inheritance Mapping in "table per class hierarchy": Allow for inheriting of properties from abstract classes above abstract class where table is defined -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: HHH-3692 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HHH-3692 Project: Hibernate Core Issue Type: Improvement Affects Versions: 3.2.6 Reporter: Bradley Wagner I'm basically using a "table per class hierarchy" mapping approach for a particular subset of my domain objects. The issue is that I'd like to inherit a number of properties in my class that defines the table from some other base classes above it. <union-subclass name="Template" abstract="true" table="template" extends="NamedObject"> .... template properties ... </class> <subclass name="SiteTemplate" discriminitator-value="ST" extends="Template"> .... site template properties .... </subclass> <subclass name="GlobalTemplate" discriminitator-value="GT" extends="Template"> .... global template properties .... </subclass> <class name="BaseObject" abstract="true"> <id name="id" type="string" unsaved-value="null'/> </class> <union-subclass name="NamedObject" abstract="true" extends="BaseObject"> <property name="name"/> <property name="path"/> </union-subclass> The problem is that it's not possible for Template to extend NamedObject AND define a table and I'd prefer not to have to remap all of these properties that already exist in other mappings for other parts of my object hierarchy. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/Administrators.... - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
