Hi,

I am unable to generate the proper configuration files using xdoclet for inheritance (joined-subclass).

I have a class Person which inherits ContactInfo and I want to have the following mapping in my ContactInfo.hbm.xml:

<class name="ContactInfo" table="CONTACT_INFO">
<id name="id" type="long" column="CONTACT_ID">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<property name="email" column="EMAIL"/>
...
<joined-subclass name="Person" table="PERSON">
<key column="PERSON_ID"/>
...
</joined-subclass>
...
</class>

I therefore add the following xdoclet tags at the class level of Person:

/**
*
* @hibernate.class
* table="PERSON"
* @hibernate.joined-subclass
* @hibernate.joined-subclass-key column="CONTACT_INFO_FK"
*/
public class Person
extends com.agencebraque.util.contact.entities.ContactInfo
{...
}

Unfortunately I don't get the expected mapping. Instead of having the one I specified above, there is no difference in ContactInfo.hbm.xml (that there would be had I not used inheritance) but in Person.hbm.xml, the attributes and associations of ContactInfo are included.

Of course this is not what I am looking for. Anybody have an idea what xdoclet tags I have to put to get the joined-subclass inheritance because I figure I'm not using the tags correctly?

Otherwise if you could direct me to samples which use inheritance with hibernate and xdoclet I would very much appreciate it.

Thank you very much,

Francois

Hi, the relationship between People and ContactInfo seems more like composition than inheritance. So, if you decide chance it, create an one to one relationship. Any way, in your case, the Xdoclet tags are incompletes. The joined-subclass approach expected that you use a table per class. So, in tags you forget the table to People class, or better, this class tag is wrong. Try this:
