Just looking for a clarification here. In straight-up hibernate you can specify inheritance using joined tables with either implicit (relational) inheritance or by specifying a discriminator column (sections 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 of the manual). If I'm using EJB3 annotations, however, and I specify a discriminator column and values on a hierarchy, the entity manager seems to ignore it completely. The hierarchy still works because of hibernate's implicit mapping, but is this something that will be supported?

Thanks,

Derek
