Hi guys,
I would like to know if there is a possiblity to embed a sublass element
into the composite element of the set/bag/idbag element ?

Imagine I have two classes that extend one abstract class that is mapped
to an unique table. (table per class hierarchy mapping).
These classes could be composite-elements in a idbag element of
a parent Entity. They are not entities.

I wander is there a way to declare in the idbag element that the two classes are subclasses of an abstract class
which is mapped as composite-element, mapped to a single table ?

I do not want to implement this association as entity to entit(ies) association,
but as entity to composite-element(s) association.

Do you have any suggestions ?


Hibernate version: 2.1

Thank you.

Hello!
There is still no answer to this post, and I would actually like to do the same thing.
A more recent post (http://forum.hibernate.org/viewtopic.php?t=972709&highlight=subclass+composite+element) hinted that NHibernate can't do that either.
But I would like to do that with Hibernate (3.3).
Thanks,
Nicolas.
