Hi

I am working with a legacy database with inherited type tables that pretty much match to InheritanceType.JOINED.
The problem is that there are duplicate column names that appear in different levels of the hierarchy, and actually represent different values.

Not surprisingly Hibernate gives "Repeated column in mapping for entity".
I can't make the columns readonly like it suggests.

I have seen posts with similar problems, but can't see an answer.
Am I missing an obvious solution?

Thanks
