Hi
If you have experience with the <properties> element you might be able to help me with a different problem in my other thread: https://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1003443

I am using Hibernate core 3.3.2.
Situation: I have a class with three subclasses mapped as single table inheritance. I am working on legacy data, so I can't change the schema.

In the superclass I use the properties element to have a target for property-ref for another class:


This is working more or less (for the less part see the link above).

Now I need a target for a property-ref from another class that doesn't know the filiale element. So i would need this:


Of course I can't do that since I would have multiple definitions of the same property.

All of the subclasses have the properties mentioned here, but when using property-ref I know which subclass to target.
So I tried moving the different <properties> definitions to the respective subclasses which would solve my problem.
Unfortunately subclass seems to support only <property> but not <properties>.
Is there another way to do this? And is there a reason why subclass won't support this element?

Thank you
Best regards
Tobias
