Hi,

I hava a class (named AccessMonitor) that is mapped twice in my application with two differents entity names (entities AccessMonitor_A and AccessMonitor_B), each one mapped to different tables. Here is a fragment of the hbm.xml file:




Many other classes of my application may have association with AccessMonitor. Let's say that class A has an association getAccessMonitor() which should map to entityname AccessMonitor_A and class B has has an association getAccessMonitor() which should map to entityname AccessMonitor_B.

Is there any way to setup this mappings with Hibernate 3?

Thanks,
Celso

when you setup the association between your other objects and your accessmonitor make sure you specify the entity name again


<many-to-one name="AccessMonitor"
column="monitor_id"
entity-name="AccessMonitor_B"/>



hope this helps =)

What about using annotations? Is there a way to map this with annotations?

I have yet to start using annootations, however, i would assume you just specify the keyword "entity-name" in the annotation.

Unfortunatly the annotation @ManyToOne doesn't have the keyword entity-name :(

It does have an "targetEntity" keyword but it accepts only an Class object, which is not the case.

Anyways, thanks for your help, imosquer!

Does anybody else knows how to do this mapping using annotations?
