Hi,

I'm trying to get a hibernate to use the same column for a discriminator and for a many-to-one relationship

<class name="Animal" table="animal">

<discriminator column="animal_type" type="long"/>

<many-to-one name="animalType" column="animal_type"/>

</class>

<class name="AnimalType" table="type">

<set name="animals" inverse="true">
<key column="animal_type" />
<one-to-many class="Animal" />
</set>

</class>

Does anyone know how I do this sort of thing? So that hibernate understands this column is both a discriminator & a foreign key?

Thanks for any replies,

Chris
