Hi all,

My application uses the same class in two different contexts and needs to be persisted in different tables depending on the context. Here is a more precise idea:

public class CommonObject {
// ...
}

public class Context1 {
private List<CommonObject> commons = new LinkedList<CommonObject>();
// ...
}

public class Context2 {
private List<CommonObject> commons = new LinkedList<CommonObject>();
// ...
}

If saving an object of class Context1, I want its CommonObject instances to be saved in table 1; if saving an object of class Context2, I want its CommonObject instances to be saved in table 2. An instance of CommonObject is never shared between objects of Context1 and Context2.

How can I go on about doing this?

Thanks a lot,
GB

You can use 'composite-element'

I belive using <any > mapping would solve your problem. Try to go thru this
