Hi,

I want to map a class with that has a polymorphic value type property. It's not obvious to me how to do this, since from the manual (§6.1.13) and HiA (§3.5) it appears that you have to be able to include all the <property>s of the component class in the <component> mapping.

Meanwhile, the relevant texts on inheritance (manual Ch. 10, HiA §3.6) appear to discuss it only in the context of entities.

Am I just missing something? :-) Hopefully there's a quick answer here :-)

Thanks,

Is this a job for <union-subclass>?
thx,

bah... looking at http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html_single/#mapping-declaration-unionsubclass, I guess not.

Can I use <subclass> inside <component>?
