[hibernate-issues] [Hibernate-JIRA] Commented: (HHH-5950) Make @UniqueConstraint inheritable

Emmanuel Bernard commented on HHH-5950:
---------------------------------------

I still think it's bad-ish but if someone :

- writes a unit test (that's in the pull request already)
- implements the fix (but marking the **annotation** as inherited is nto good enough, the code must look up etc
- writes a doc with all the limitations

I guess we could allow it.

> It would be really nice to be able to define a @UniquenessConstraint in a @MappedSuperclass so that all subclasses carry this constraint. Right now, the following constraint is ignored:
> @MappedSuperclass
> @Table(uniqueConstraints = {@UniqueConstraint(name="inheritedConstraint", columnNames = {"matter", "value"})})
> public class Space { ... }
