MappedSuperclass (Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0.0.GA public API)

java.lang.Object
- org.hibernate.mapping.MappedSuperclass

```
public class MappedSuperclass
extends Object
```
Represents a @MappedSuperclass. A @MappedSuperclass can be a superclass of an @Entity (root or not) This class primary goal is to give a representation to @MappedSuperclass in the metamodel in order to reflect them in the JPA 2 metamodel. Do not use outside this use case. A proper redesign will be evaluated in Hibernate 4 Implementation details: properties are copies of their closest sub-persistentClass versions
