Hibernate version:2.1.3

Name and version of the database you are using: Oracle 9i

Hibernate in Action : Chapter 6, Page 230.
This shows mapping between Category, Category Item and ITem. I have a very similiar scenario. The problem is, I dont see how in this example, <parent name=cartegory> is possible.

As Category Item in not really category from an object hirearchy view point. The issue mainly arises as I am trying to use xdoclet 1.2 to generate a similar mapping. I dont see how above recommendation in this book is possible without using the subclass or the joined subclass tag. Am I missing something here ?

Any pointers would be greatly be appreciated .....
