I'm having problems mapping the inheritence using a Postgresql. Since we already in the database (psql support table inheritence) have defined the inheritence between tables, should hibernate not really need to bother with this.

But even if I don't specify anything when defining the annotations in the classes hibernate seems to be smart clever enought and finds the hiearchie that we've defined for the actual java-classes. And defaults to using a inheritence mapping with a distriminator-column.

My question is simply; how can I in Hibernate3 using annotation disable the automatic inheritence mapping?
