Joined-Subclass on other XML file

Hi!
I have the following problem:
There is a project with some persistent classes (and their XXX.hbm.xml descriptors), wich are used by various other projects.
That main project has a class (ie, Person) wich is general. One of the other projects has a specific class (ie, Customer), that does not belong to that general project.
I cannot map the joined-subclass on the Person.hbm.xml because the Customer class does not belongs to that domain.
How can I map a joined-subclass in a different XML than the superclass?

I think there is the possiblitiy to use the "extends" attribute somehow, but I don't know if this works the same way as joined-subclass ...

Same as subclasses, I guess

Ah great, you can do just the same with joined-subclass, too:

It is possible to define subclass and joined-subclass mappings in seperate mapping documents, directly beneath hibernate-mapping.

Thanks, guys. I've started using Hibernate on version 1.1.X and didn't noticed that possibility....

Sorry for not reading the documentation so deep...
