Hi.

I have the foll. scenario:

Table PAYMENT has been mapped using Table per subclass, using a discriminator with column "CARD_TYPE" of table PAYMENT as the discriminator column.
I want to know whether I can use the same Java class for different values of discriminator???, i.e, can I have such a mapping:

<class name="Payment" table="PAYMENT">
<id name="id" type="long" column="PAYMENT_ID">
<generator class="native"/>
</id>
<discriminator column="CARD_TYPE" type="string"/>
<property name="amount" column="AMOUNT"/>
...

<subclass name="CreditCardPayment" discriminator-value="VISACARD">
...........</subclass>

<subclass name="CreditCardPayment" discriminator-value="MASTERCARD">
...........</subclass>

......
</class>

The subclass is same for different values of the discrminator field. Is this possible??

Thanks in advance,
Rakesh S

I haven't done this personally, but 24.4.3 might be helpful if you try mapping multiple values of CARD_TYPE to a single discriminator value.
