I have this four column in every table, so to map this column I created a rowhistory component and declared in every hibernate mapping

I was looking if some how the rowhistory component mapping can be abstracted to one file and extended or imported in every hibernate mapping file.

So I don't have declare rowhistory component and it's property in every mapping file

<component name="rowHistory" class="com.liquid.ingest.RowHistory">
<property name="createdBy" column="CREATED_BY" not-null="true" type="java.lang.String" />
<property name="createdDate" column="CREATED_DATE" not-null="true" type="java.sql.Timestamp" />
<property name="modifiedBy" column="MODIFIED_BY" not-null="true" type="java.lang.String" />
<property name="modifiedDate" column="MODIFIED_DATE" not-null="true" type="java.sql.Timestamp" />
</component>

its part of xml and called entity includes

It works but after I have used Hibernate 3.2.cr4, I tried with version 3.1.3 but always get xml parsing error

Mapping xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC
"-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD 3.0//EN"
"http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-3.0.dtd" [
<!ENTITY AbstractDomainObject SYSTEM "classpath://com/liquid/ingest/domain/AbstractDomainObject.xml">
]>

<hibernate-mapping package="com.liquid.ingest.domain.company">
<class name="Company" table="INV_COMPANY" lazy="false">

<!-- Include superclass properties -->
&AbstractDomainObject;

</class>
</hibernate-mapping>


AbstractDomainObject.xml

<component name="rowHistory" class="com.liquid.ingest.RowHistory">
<property name="modifiedBy" column="MODIFIED_BY" type="java.lang.String" />
<property name="modifiedDate" column="MODIFIED_DATE" type="java.sql.Timestamp" />
</component>

Thanks for help
