Hi all,

I would like to know how to model an any mapping for a polymorphic association this with the EJB 3.0 annotations:

<any name="payment" meta-type="string" id-type="long">
<meta-value value="CREDIT" class="CreditCardPayment"/>
<meta-value value="CASH" class="CashPayment"/>
<meta-value value="CHEQUE" class="ChequePayment"/>
<column name="PAYMENT_CLASS"/>
<column name="PAYMENT_ID"/>
</any>

thanks in advance,
tiggy

Hi Emmanuel,

can the Hibernate native <any> mapping be used together with JPA annotations? Thanks.

No way (as explained above) you have to write hbm file(s), there is no problem to mix annotations and hbm for separate classes.
