Hello,

I have a case where I have an entity mapped with Hibernate and I need to map it to multiple tables. My use case is this:

I have Entity A that goes through some processing, but before a user can save it on their own, their account must meet certain conditions. So if they can't process Entity A right there, I want to enqueue it for later. This means I'd need one permanent table and one queueing table. How can this be accomplished in Hibernate ?

This is not answering your question directly but an alternative to using two tables is having an additional column in the table, say a boolean column called "pending". When set to true it means that it doesn't meet the conditions. Otherwise it's set to false.

Hi Budyanto,

That's a good idea, however I can't do this because of certain business requirements and the way our system interacts with some of our partners. Unfortunately, it has to be in another table. Thank you very much for the suggestion nonetheless.
