Hello,

I have a composite element TECHNOLOGY in another object ITEM.
The mapping is defined as below :
<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="com.st.ict.qs.pcms.businessbean.Item" table="T_ITEM">
<id name="internalId" type="integer" column="ITEM_ID">
<generator class="identity"/>
</id>

<bag
name="itemTechnology"
table="T_TECHNOLOGY"
lazy="true"
cascade="all-delete-orphan"
batch-size="20"
>

<key column="PARENT__ID">
</key>

<composite-element class="com.st.ict.qs.pcms.businessbean.ItemTechnology">
<property
name="description"
type="java.lang.String"
update="true"
insert="true"
column="DESCRIPTION"
length="200"
/>

<property
name="type"
type="java.lang.String"
update="true"
insert="true"
column="TYPE"
length="50"
/>

</composite-element>

</bag>

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>


Now this TECHNOLOGY class is also added as composite element in another object PCP.

<hibernate-mapping>

<class name="com.st.ict.qs.pcms.businessbean.Pcp" table="T_PCP">
<id name="internalId" type="int" column="PCP_ID" >
<generator class="assigned"/>
</id>
<bag
name="pcpTechnology"
table="T_TECHNOLOGY"
lazy="true"
cascade="all"
batch-size="20"
>

<key column="PARENT__ID">
</key>

<composite-element class="com.st.ict.qs.pcms.businessbean.PcpTechnology">
<property
name="description"
type="java.lang.String"
update="true"
insert="true"
column="DESCRIPTION"
length="200"
/>

<property
name="type"
type="java.lang.String"
update="true"
insert="true"
column="TYPE"
length="50"
/>

</composite-element>

</bag>

</class>

</hibernate-mapping>

The table to store the data of TECHNOLOGY is same and they use same PARENT__ID column to store the parent id.
and i maintain an attribute in TECHNOLOGY table which will give me the type of technology(values are ITEM or PCP)

Now the issue is, that when i load ITEM theTECHNOLOGY that are linked to PCP are also loaded and i have not defined anywhere the only the technology of type ITEM should be loaded.

So i want to define some discrimator for this mapping.

Thanks to help.
