Hi All,

I'm new to Hibernate so you may have to bare with me. I have 2 classes, Image and its subclass FullImage that are mapped in the following way:

<class name="uk.co.granitedigital.imagelib.core.Image" table="image">
<id name="id" type="long">
<generator class="native" >

</generator>
</id>
<property name="filename" column="filename" type="string" />
<property name="title" column="title" type="string" />
<property name="description" column="description" type="string" />
<property name="photographer" column="photographer" type="string" />
<property name="dateCreated" column="dateCreated" type="date" />
<joined-subclass name="uk.co.granitedigital.imagelib.core.FullImage" table="fullimage"
extends="uk.co.granitedigital.imagelib.core.Image" >
<key column="id" />
<map name="properties" >

<key column="imageId" />
<index column="type" type="long" />
<one-to-many class="uk.co.granitedigital.imagelib.core.ImageProperty" />
</map>
<property name="longDescription" type="string" />
</joined-subclass>

</class>

Now this seems to work, I can session.load either FullImages or just Images. My problem is that I want to be able to select a list of Images, I thought that session.find("from Image as image") would do the trick but this seems to return FullImages, how can I make Hibernate just return Images as I don't want it to make the extra join to get all the ImageProperty values?

Thanks

Harry

maybe this helps
