Hi,

I'm trying to get a small inheritance example working, but it seems to be that my mapping document is missing something. When I try to run my example I get the following error :

Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The content of element type "class" must match "(meta*,(cache|jcs-cache)?,(id|composite-id),discriminator?,(version|timestamp)?,(property|many-to-one|one-to-one|component|dynamic-component|any|map|set|list|bag|idbag|array|primitive-array)*,(subclass*|joined-subclass*))".
at org.apache.xerces.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException

Could anyone tell me what is missing in the following mapping document :

<hibernate-mapping>
<class name="org.hibernate.test.Parent" table="Parent" >
<id name="id" unsaved-value="0">
<generator class="uuid.string"/>
</id>

<property name="parentString" column="ParentString" type="string"/>
<property name="type" column="type" type="character"/>

<discriminator column="type" type="character"/>

<subclass name="org.hibernate.test.ChildA" discriminator-value="A">
<property name="childAString" type="string"/>
</subclass>

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>


Thanks!!!

Try putting the <discriminator> element before any of the <property> elements.

Yep, that solved my problem!!!

Thanks!!!
