 Post subject: How to Map Polymorphic Associations?

I need to map a pretty big model with well over 100 classes and polymorphic associations are causing problems. The picture shows a simplified class diagram.

Image

I use a "table per subclass" mapping which is slightly better than "table per concrete class", so every class and interface gets a table. At least one parent interface (RootModelElement) is mapped correctly and polymorphic associations work from this side.

As the classes A and B already have a super class, the ReferenceKeeper interface is lost in my mapping. Something like extends="demomodel.RootModelElement,demomodel.ReferenceTarget" would be super awesome.

How can I fix the mapping?

This is the simplified ecore model.

    nsPrefix="demomodel">
  <eClassifiers xsi:type="ecore:EClass" name="Container">
