Hi,
I'm using Hibernate EntityManager and have a problem to used abstract annotated classes which have derived classes.

I've defined an number of abstract classes which have all javax.persistence annotations within. Each abstract class has a derived class which can be extended by user code.

My problem now is that I get an error message "Unknown entity: x.Xxx.class. As it seems the annotations are not inherited to the derived class.

Is there a possibility to inherit annotations of a parent class?


Any help is welcome
Thanks -M

you don't provide information on how you have annotated the classes you are talking about, so i try to guess.

i have an abstract annotated class with classes extending it.
the only thing i have added in the abstract class to make inheritance work is this:

@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.TABLE_PER_CLASS)
[...]

obviously you can choose another strategy type.
