Hi All! I have the following mapping structure in my hbm.xml file: <class name="Person" discriminator-value="P"> ... <component name="address"> <property name="street"/> <property name="zip"/> <property name="country"/> </component> ... In Java code I get object of the type org.hibernate.mapping.Property. For example it is "zip" property. The question is: how can I know that my Property object is property of "address" Subclass ("address" component). Property.getPersistanceClass() returns null. -- Best regards, Dmitry Geraskov dgeraskov(a)exadel.com Senior Developer Exadel Inc
