Hi,
I have an existing database table(in which each row contains a classId column).
I am now trying to map my various related objects to this data and need to use the existing classid column to denote the class discriminator using single table inheritance.
I have just setting the classid as the @DiscriminatorColumn but Hibernate attempts to recreate this columns and throws an exception.
I think therefore, that I have to use a @DescriminatorFormula but cannot find a way to simply apply it.
Thanks,
Barry

I managed to get to the bottom of this myself using the @DescriminatorFormula and hope that this is the most elegant solution.
Simply adding a @DescriminatorFormula("classID") to the super class and the appropriate discriminators (@DiscriminatorValue("A") to A and @DiscriminatorValue("B") to B) to the subclasses seems to do the trick.
Cheers,
Barry
