Hello Hibernate guys,

"SecParaDetailed" is a superclass of many classes I used as a table in my hibernate mapping. I used table-per-concrete-class inheritance mapping strategy because I do not want to create a table for "SecParaDetailed".

How do I query all its subclasses together with the "class property? Should I use "discriminator-value" instead to be able to query its "class property"? I need to query the "class property" because I want to distinguish one subclass from the other.

Right now, I'm getting "cannot get class property" error when I use the following query:

session.find("select detailed.class from SecParaDetailed detailed");


Hope you can shed light to me regarding this matter.

Thanks in advance! :)

Do all of your subclasses extend SecParaDetailed? (or implement a common interface)

Can you execute this query and get all subclass instances: "from SecParaDetailed"

This should just be a simple case of implicit polymorphism: http://www.hibernate.org/hib_docs/v3/reference/en/html/inheritance.html#d0e6941

1. Do all of your subclasses extend SecParaDetailed? (or implement a common interface)


Yah! All of my subclasses extends "SecParaDetailed". Do you have any solution on how can I able to distinguish one subclass from the rest? I'm thinking of using the "class property" but it gives me errors I've mentioned above.


2. Can you execute this query and get all subclass instances: "from SecParaDetailed"


Yah! It returns all the fields from all the tables(in which I use these subclasses in creating them). Now, my problem is how can I able to know which fields belonging from which table.

Thanks for the reply! :)[/b]
