Hi, The Hibernate documentation (section 10.1.5. Table per concrete class http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/orm/4.3/manual/en-US/html/ch10.html#inheritance-tableperconcrete ) says:
> If your superclass is abstract, map it with abstract="true". If it is not abstract, > an additional table (it defaults to PAYMENT in the example above), is needed > to hold instances of the superclass. Why is this keyword needed? Couldn't abstract classes be detected automatically using reflection? /Oskar _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev
