Hi,

Is there a way for me to get a collection of object from a query? My problem right now is I want to return a list of object from a table called Activity, which have objects extending it with inheritance. I want to be able to cast my result into specific object that is extending it. I could query the entire activity record but there doesn't appear to be a way for me to know if it is a WORK activity or a FUN activity. Is there a way for me to get the DiscriminatorValue since it doesn't have any getter. Reason is I want to return a collection of all the work and fun activity without querying only fun activity. This is only a short example but my code has 8 more different type of activity.

Thank you.


@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.SINGLE_TABLE)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name = "activityType", discriminatorType = DiscriminatorType.STRING)
public class Activity

@Entity
@DiscriminatorValue("WORK")
public class Work extends Activity {

@Entity
@DiscriminatorValue("FUN")
public class Fun extends Activity {
