Hibernate version: 3.2.0.ga

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

I am trying to create a table with a column whose type is an interface using polymorphic association. In other words, in this column, I would like to store any object that implements the particular interface. Also, I am trying to do all my mappings with annotations and avoid using a mapping file if possible for solving this problem.

I am familiar with polymorphic mappings for superclass/subclasses. I have tried to use the same technique for interfaces to no avail. I have been unable to find any polymorphism documentation directly related to mapping interfaces using annotations.

Firstly, is what I am describing possible? I would think it should be. If so, should superclass/subclasses technique adapt to interfaces? Or, is there another approach I should be using? How should the interface and property be annotated to make this work? Any pointers in the right direction would be helpful.
