Hibernate version: 3.0

Hi,

I need to redevelop an application using an existing database schema. I am using Tibco Business Events for the Object representation so I can't customise the getters or setters or anything in these objects...

Rate has a RateInstance.
RawRate extends from Rate.
NormalizedRate extends from Rate.

In the database, RawRate got its own table, NormalizedRate got its own instance.

The problem is for RateInstance... In the database, there is one table for each type of RateInstance: RawRateInstance and NormalizedRateInstance.

Is it possible to represent that using Hibernate mapping?

I didn't find any posts in this forum.

The reason why I need to separate these tables (even if it's a bad design) is because the client will use both the application and the database to read/change the data.

Hope I'm clear enough.

Cheers

After talking to the manager, they agreed that we needed to create 2 new objects: RawRateInstance and NormalizedRateInstance which extends RateInstance.

In the hibernate mapping the fix was easy to do.
