Hi ,

We are introducing Hibernate in an existing application.
I would like to map two existing beans in the current java application to one database table. One of the fields in these two tables are same. Is there a way to do this ?

Regards,
lrow

Note:- I already went through couple of suggestions in this link, but my case is slightly different

Any pointers ??

I am new here. I just go over this thread. Nice topic!!!
But now I can not find out the answer.

Okay. I found a temporary solution to do this with littlle manual work for now .

Steps
[*] Classes have Commonfield called "commonNumber"
[*] Let one class say "Thing" embeds the other "ThingDetail" class .
[*] Map the variable commonNumber of Thing to database using Anotations [ hibernate 3.2 , 3.0 ]
[*] Declare the commonNumber present in ThingDetails as "@Transient"
[*] Note:- Whenever thingDetail data is returned to other layers from DAO , manually populate it though Thing class and send out . Example

Thing thing = (Thing) query.uniqueResult();
ThingDetails thingDetails = thing.getThingDetails();
thingDetails.setCommonNumber(thing.getCommonNumber());
