Hi guys,
I have a question about the polymorphic associations in Hibernate.

Imagine I have an object, that contains a set of objects implementing the
same interface but being mapped to different tables. They have absolutly different properties.
These objects are declared as entities in Hibernate. having their own life cycle. So they can not be mapped as component.

So I would like to have only one Set property in the parent object, and this
Set contain different Objects from different tables,
having the same super interface.

I do not want to have several Set properties in my parent object corresponding to each different child object.

Is there a way to do this with the Hibernate mapping xml file ?
Any suggestions and ideas are welcome.

Thank you.
