I have class B which extends class A. Both have their own mappings, but there is no relationship mentioned between them in this mappings.

I'm executing query on class A and I also get instances of class B.

Ok, looking through source I see that QueryTranslator picks up (factory.getImplementors) all classes that are subclasses, so behaviour is normal.

What if I'm only querying on some properties which are only declared in mapping A and not in mapping B?

How could I only get just instances of A class?

Thanx, Ales


Hibernate version: 2.1.7

mapping A:

polymorphism="explicit"

:-)

But what about that only querying on properties of mapping A?
Who checks if those properties exist in other mappings?

B is a subclass, A does not have properties that B does not have.

Ok, looking as subclass, B sure does have all properties A has.
But since mappings aren't connected in any way (no subclass, joined-class), only class B extends class A.

I have property 'foo' which is declared in mapping A, but it is not declared in mapping B. I do a query involving this property, who would know that this property doesn't exist in mapping B, so additional query for class B wouldn't be generated by QueryTranslator picks up (factory.getImplementors)?

'picks up' is obsolete.
