I am attempting to implement the following.

class ChildClass extends SuperClass {
Set set; //contains strings
}

The super class had an id with generator native.
The child class is using joined-subclass and has
<key column="OBJECT_ID"/>

I am holding the set of strings in the child class like so

<set name="boundValues" table="BOUNDVALUES">
<key column="PropertyID" on-delete="cascade"/>
<element column="BoundValue" type="string" unique="true"/>
</set>


It all looks simple enough. Hibernate is complaining

org.hibernate.MappingException: Could not determine type for: com.rgdsft.hibernate.core.models.DBPropertyType, for columns: [org.hibernate.mapping.Column(PROPERTY_ID)]

DBPropertyType is the child class.


Any idea why this would be? I can post the whole files if you like. Only a few of them and they are pretty simple. This is the tricky situation I had hoped Hibernate would solve for me. JDO does not support this yet...

First foremost,

You should declare the type of Set (Set is an interface). Something like this:



Secondly, the set-tag would be like this:




Best regards.

First, I am not using generics so I can not declare the Set type.

Second, this is a collection of Strings, not a collection of a persistable type. So YOUR_CLASS would be String? But there can not be an inverse relationship here either because the String class does not contain a reference to the class holding it in its collection.

Can you explain better your choices?

Hello,



If it doesn't run, I advice to see reference documentation for mapping an inheritance relation.

Sorry for my english.

Regards.
