Hi all,

what I am trying to do is the following: I have multiple tables. All these tables have a primary key called id (I make sure the keys are unique over all the tables). Then I have a table that should contain all the keys, because I want to be able to reference to all these objects from a central table (I need to be able to associate users to these objects to see which user can alter/view specific objects)

Is this possible to do with hibernate? Can I manually add constraints (I looked in the documentation, but I can't seem to find anything about it).

Is there an alternative way of dealing with this problem?

kind regards

Guy

This I would simple map with unidirectional to many relations,
then you don't need to do that weird thing with the 'super-table' holding a reference to each key.
