Code:

<class name="xyz" table="xyz" >
<id name="id">
<column name="id"/>
<generator class="sequence >
...
</generator>
</id>

<discriminator>
<column name="discriminator" />
</discriminator>

<natural-id>
 <property name="property1" column="property1"/>
....
</natural-id>

</class>

if discriminator is part of natural key, how can we include?
can we declare dscriminator property in our POJO also?
please provide your help.

Regards,
Vinay
