Hello,

I have a class Foo which is persisted with Hibernate/XDoclet.

I have another class which subclasses Foo (call it Bar). Bar lives in another package. I'd like to use XDoclet to declare this as a joined-subclass. However, running xdoclet over it results in no mapping file being generated.

Here are the tags in the subclass

/**
* @author rmangi
*
* @hibernate.joined-subclass table="MyProductGroup"
* @hibernate.joined-subclass-key column="key"
*
*/


Is there a trick here that I'm not aware of, or is this even supported? XDoclet just completely ignores the subclass. If I put the two .java files in the same pacakge it works fine.

Ok, more on this. I've made some progress. Adding "extends=package.SuperClass" to the @hibernate.joined-subclass tag allows xdoclet to find the superclass. However, this only works if the source code for the superclass is included in the fileset for the <hibernatedoclet> tag in Maven/Ant. Including the class file in the <classpath> doesn't seem to do anything.

We would really like to not have to link against the source code when creating subclasses like this. Is there a way to do this outside of including the source?

Thanks.
