Hi,

I have three classes that extends from an abstract class 'Resource', and I'm using a string field 'indTypeResource' like discriminator to identify witch o these classes should be instantiated.

The instantiation is working very well, but I can't access the attribute 'indTypeResource', that should be avaible from the resource class as I'm using like discriminator.

Is that possible? How can I do that?

My resourse.hbm:
....
<discriminator
column="IND_TYPE_RESOURCE"
type="string"
/>
...

You can map it as a property in addition, and set insert=false update=false on the property mapping.

Do you really need that however, I mean you can just check with instanceof what class you have ...

It worked... :-)

I was using instanceof, but the source wasn't very clean and this way has a better meaning.

Thank you!
