[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HSEARCH-249) Inheritance of annotations

[Frank Zimmerli (JIRA)]

Frank Zimmerli commented on HSEARCH-249:
----------------------------------------

The problem is that the class variables are in the abstract class and they are annotated with @Field but the perisistent class is the implementation class of the abstract class. Therefore the @Field should be inherited from the abstract class to the implementation class.

> The SearchFactoryImpl does not handle inherited annotations. This could be usefull for abstract classes with it's concrete implementations. E.g. AndroMDA uses this mechanism for creating the interface as an abstract class and the the implementation as the hibernate object, which can be used in the services. Annotation inheritance is not part of the annotation specifiation, but there exists a extension from http://www.fusionsoft-online.com/articles-java-annotations.php to access the inherited annotations. It could be done in hibernate in the same way.
