I have a User class which is mapped to User.hbm.xml.
I am adding a new class called UserHistory which is mapped in UserHistory.hbm.xml. UserHistory extends User and has the identical columns.
When I do a Select on the User object, Hibernate now throws the following exception:
Code:
java.lang.NullPointerException

What am I doing wrong? Do I need to copy the contents of User into UserHistory instead of using "class UserHistory extends User"? Is there some special hibernate option which I need to change to allow inheritance?
