Hi,
I am working on a project with Hibernate and this is my situation. I have a base class A and two classes B and C that extend it. This works fine as far as I know with the following code:
So, Hibernate creates a table for every class, that's A, B and C. It is the "Joined subclasses" method of the Hibernate Annotations Reference Guide. This seems to work fine as mentioned above.
Now, I have a class named Wrapper which has a property of class B and C and
only one, like this:
I thought about realizing a OneToOne relation (with shared primary keys) between class B and Wrapper and C and Wrapper using something like explained
here but I was not able to achieve it or was not sure if it was correct. Than I thought about using just a foreign key for the classes B and C pointing to the Wrapper with a unique constraint but I do not know how.
Another idea would be to set the id of the instances of the classes B and C to the id of the Wrapper when setting instance_B and instance_C. I do not know if this is the right way and I am very doubtful about that.
I hope that this is comprehensible and that somebody can help me out of this. Perhaps somebody has a better idea than I had.
With best regards
