Hi

I'm working with a few inherited classes and I have a abstract class as mapped super class. I work with inheritance strategy joined. The class inheritance looks like this: Person -> Employee -> XYEmployee. Everything works fine.

Now I want to add to every table in the DB a Field "lastModified" where I want to store the date of the last modification for each row. What is the best approach to do that? When I add the field in the superclass (Person), then I just have the columns in the direct descendants (Employee). I want the field in the table XYEmployee too.

Thank you

Check out the Envers project! It's part of Hibernate 3.5, but an add on currently. It'll help!
