Leandro Hermida commented on JBSEAM-3486:
-----------------------------------------

Hello again,

Since in general annotations are not inherited, I was wondering if this might be more troublesome than it looks.  If one puts some Identity Management entity annotations up in their class hierarchy and there are other classes (not User or Role) that inherit from this, how do you control or know which concrete classes are actually meant to use the inherited annotations?

> I was wondering if the Identity Management API supports putting some of the entity annotations in parent classes? As an example I have a User entity bean which will have @UserPrincipal, @UserPassword, @UserEnabled, @UserRoles and it inherits from a Person class which has the first and last name and thus @UserFirstName and @UserLastName.
